Jetstrike

Released in 1994, _Jetstrike_ mixes action, strategy, and flight combat into a surprisingly ambitious package. Players take command of military aircraft and tackle missions that involve destroying enemy targets while managing resources and planning attacks. Unlike purely arcade-oriented flight games, Jetstrike encourages a more thoughtful approach without becoming overwhelming. The graphics are detailed for the period, and the gameplay offers a satisfying sense of progression. Whether launching missiles at enemy installations or carefully selecting equipment before a mission, there is always something to do. It is a game that rewards planning, although reckless explosions remain highly entertaining.
