I'm guessing 1 disc has a SuperNes or Genesis emulator with Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike and a PSOne emulator with a disc image of Soviet Strike, and the second disc is a copy of the PC version of Nuclear Strike. The only official Strike compilation for the PC that I'm aware of was released in 1995 and included Desert Strike and Jungle Strike. Urban Strike for the Sega Genesis. This classic game has been cleaned, tested, and is backed by our 90 day no questions asked returns policy!
Hey guys,Which ports do you think are the best of the strike series? I know they all originally came out on Genesis. But are they better on SNES or Amiga CD32?I'm thinking of picking up Jungle Strike later today for Genesis, and wanted to know if it's right version to pickup. I hear the SNES had better graphics and was smoother, but the sound was bad. I also heard the Amiga CD32 had revamped graphics.Anyone play these games and know from experience?thanks everyone!- RetromangiaI say go Genesis.I was always a Genesis over SNES guy anyway. I think you will find that the graphics might be better on SNES but the speed and gameplay I think will be better on Sega.Just an opinion though!!
If you like Jungle Strike you should check out Urban Strike as well. It is its sequel if you dont already have it. They actually have an on foot stage. Having actually played them on both consoles, here's my opinion.You can't go wrong with the Genesis, SuperNes, GBA, PC, or Amiga versions of Desert Strike.
Stick empires download. The Amiga version is great, but runs a tad slow. Genesis and SuperNes have some differences, I'm tempted to give the SuperNes version a slight advantage but they're pretty comparable. And the GBA port is a great portable version of the game. However, the PC version is the best of the bunch and even includes an exclusive campaign. The original GameBoy release is pretty lacking these days and not worth tracking down, and while the Atari Lynx version is decent, it isn't worth the asking price. The emulated Genesis version on EA Replay for the PSP suffers from poor emulation. So go GBA if you want a portable version.With Jungle Strike, the SuperNes versions blew away the Genesis release.
Far superior graphics and audio without any sacrifices to the gameplay. The PC version is the best, but the FMV sequences are horrible with terrible acting and are far inferior to the ingame level introductions and such of the console releases. The Amiga version is nearly as good as the PC release, but without the poor FMV sequences. However, it's lacking the bonus campaign the PC version contained as far as I can remember. The original GameBoy release is pretty lacking these days and not worth tracking down.
The emulated Genesis version on EA Replay for the PSP suffers from poor emulation and isn't worth it.Where did you read that the sound was poor on the SuperNes version of Jungle Strike? From my experience, the audio blows away the Genesis version.
Just watch the game's introduction sequence that sets up the background of the story after the helicopter credits for a clear cut example of just how much better sounding the SuperNes release is (Not to mention, better looking and smoother). Both are or at least used to be up on YouTube, or you could quickly fire up a emulator and let them run.With Urban Strike, I'm not aware of nor have I played any computer releases of it. As far as the Genesis and SuperNes releases go, the SuperNes version is the clear winner, though the gap is less than with Jungle Strike.
The original GameBoy release is pretty lacking these days, as are the previous two GameBoy releases in the series, and isn't worth playing. Wasn't included on EA Replay due I suspect to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in the game.Soviet Strike, I've only played the Playstation release and have no experience with the Saturn port.
Not aware of any PC release. With Nuclear Strike, it's a tough call. The N64 release plays and looks better than the PSOne release, but there's been many cuts as well to the game making it significantly different.
The PC release is the way to go for Nuclear Strike.Has anyone ever played the Master System release of Desert Strike or the Game Gear ports of the first three? I'd be curious how they turned out.Edit - I forgot how awful the helicopter sounds were in the MS-DOS version of Desert Strike. While it looks and plays well, it doesn't sound good. It's a far cry from the audio of the Amiga release.Also, I've only played the cd-rom release of Jungle Strike.
YouTube videos show there's a disk version without the awful fmv sequences and good music in such areas as the intro, although the helicopter engine sounds are even worse than with Desert Strike in MS-DOS.
