Seek and Destroy is a 1996 DOS action game centered on military missions involving vehicles, weapons, and enemy targets. Players control combat equipment and move through dangerous environments while attempting to complete objectives and survive hostile attacks. The game combines straightforward shooting with mission-based progression, giving players a succession of targets to eliminate rather than a single continuous battlefield. Its military presentation gives the action a serious surface, while the arcade-style mechanics keep things moving quickly. Seek and Destroy is not interested in lengthy diplomatic negotiations or carefully worded peace treaties. The mission title pretty much explains the philosophy: find the target, destroy the target, and worry about the paperwork later. For players who enjoy compact military action with a distinctly 1990s PC flavor, it offers plenty of explosions and a satisfyingly direct approach to problem solving.
Computer Games Magazine (1996): "Seek and Destroy offers no network play, no mission editor, and no big name actors digitized into cut scenes, but none of that matters. Instead, we're offered a smart looking, simple-to-get-into game that provides those visceral thrills (you remember - the ones that come from blowing up lots and lots of stuff) that used to be the hallmark of an excellent shooter. In other words, what we have here is a game that's just a helluva lot of fun to play. And that is what gaming is all about. You've got nothing to lose except a huge hunk of free time."
