Who remembers the 'Jungle Strike', 'Urban Strike', and 'Desert Strike' video game series?

All three games were great challenges. 'Jungle Strike' was my favorite. The throbbing opening theme music and montage really got the juices going in prep for your missions. The " "Saddam" bad guy was a nice touch a couple of years after Iraqi Desert Storm.

During the 90s, was there a better series than the 'Strike' series? They were thinking man's games.

'Desert Strike' was the first and spectacular. 'Urban Strike' just as good.

Rented that one a lot from Blockbuster, never any good at it. Now I watch people speedrun that game and I feel dumb.

Never played that one but I played some command and conquer back in the day. That was a fun little game.

Jungle Strike was my go-to Blockbuster rental if I couldn't figure out something else I wanted to play.

Really just should have had my parents buy me the game at some point

I loved dessert strike as a kid. I had a giant sketch pad that I’d map out every level in.

Just watched level cap video on this, I'm probably going to pick it up. Loved those old strike games.

I did not catch it. Weird coincidence.

Apology to all -- I didn't realized this thread had been moved to the Gaming Board. My bad on not posting it there in the first place.
