If your gaming history stretches as far back as the Commodore Amiga and Sega Genesis / MegaDrive chances are high that you came across a helicopter game called Desert Strike (or one of its sequels Jungle Strike or Urban Strike). Rising from the ashes of a failed attempt at a flight simulator Desert Strike arrived in 1992, fresh from Operation Desert Storm and the Gulf War (I wonder if it ever got played on this GameBoy?), and plopped you in a modded Apache helicopter flying around the deserty landscape doing missions and rescuing people. Although it was technically a shoot ‘’em-up it was also a combined strategy game, lighter on the traditional hectic blasting. Why should you care?
