Description
Twenty-two years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the world has become embroiled in a series of conflicts centered around an ever-dwindling resource: oil. Mankind’s hopes for world peace lie battered and broken. Take command of Stern’s Wildcats, an elite squadron of mercs trying to fly straight in a world of deceit and violence. Engage rival merc squadrons, third world dictators, and the armies of the dreaded IRS. In a world gone mad, there’s plenty of room to fly, all that’s required is the cash.

Strike Commander puts you in the best place to witness fast-paced dogfighting action: the pilot’s seat. Fly high as you take on over 60 missions, each more challenging than the last in your top-of the-line F16 squadron piloted by the best crew in the business (operational success rate of 86%). Strike Commander is a classic flight combat sim where a pilot is only as good as his, or her, last flight. Fly to survive and survive to fly, in this modern-day action-oriented jet fighter combat simulation!
  • Strike Commander includes the original game, Strike Commander: Tactical Operations, and the expanded Speech Pack.
  • Features Gauntlet mode: wave after wave of enemies.See how long you can survive!
  • A powerful and gripping story set in an alternative future that didn't turn out quite as expected.

Hard to enjoy

When your flying against enemy planes it's a blast once you patch the game. Sadly you have to attack ground targets a lot and this is once of the weakest parts of the game you can't hit targets with any degree of accuracy nor do you have the ammo to do so expect to fail a fair amount of missions. While your wingman can do quite a bit on a ground attack mission they can't do it all. Enemy AI likes to play chicken quite a bit and ram you though you have options to turn some things like mid air collisions off. It's really sad this game would be good if it wasn't so difficult to play. Totally needs a reboot.

FINALLY

My god, I loved this game. I played it so much, there is just nothing like it today. I have been hoping it would be released on GOG and now... so excited to play it again.

Something's wrong with it

Someone already pointed out that the game is CPU-speed sensitive and with dosbox emulation it plays differently than it used to on plain... well, dos box. Also it seems to be way worse performing than it used to. Maybe there is something in the way it was programmed that doesn't play very well with dosbox. But there is also something else I don't recall back from the day - there are several missions where your opponents appear out of nowhere very close to you, sometimes even directly on your tail. In some spots, for example, they always appear some 2-3 kilometers directly in front of you regardless of which direction your airplane is pointing. Every single time as you shoot one pair, the moment the second aircraft of that pair crashes another two airplanes are conjured out of thin air directly in front of you (and facing you of course). Sometimes you can "cheat" that by predicting that and pointing your nose down so they don't spawn since they'd have to spawn underground. But there are also points where you use autopilot and it disengages in a point where you have two airplanes in front of you and two on your tail. Ridiculous. And that's a pitty because I remember that I loved this game back when it came out.

Best Flight Sim I ever played

This game defined my childhood love of flight sims. Incredible amount of content and control over what you arm yourself with. Kept going broke though :P

advanced for it's day

i remember seeing this game in the 90's and the visuals blew away anything else at the time, but these DOSBOX games from GOG just never seem to run right? i mess around in the configuration and it makes no difference man! slowdown/jitter/lagging SUCKS. why can't we ever get games that run proper? no sound issues, no stuttering just give us smooth gameplay. this is a pretty good game ( when it runs proper ) but this game doesn't!!!
