AirTiger Strike AGA

An isometric helicopter action game for the Amiga 1200, in the spirit of Desert Strike.

You fly an AH-64 Apache with a tiger's head painted on its nose. Your home base is the helideck of a US destroyer in the Gulf. From there you fly deep into occupied territory to hunt SCUD launchers, rescue downed pilots, escort convoys and free prisoners of war.

- a 30 mm chain gun that locks onto the nearest target by itself

- Hydra rockets

- guided Hellfire missiles

You face T-72 tanks, Shilka flak, SAM sites, Stinger teams, attack boats and the Republican Guard. Keep an eye on fuel, armour and ammunition. Winch up supply crates in the field, or set down on the destroyer to refuel, rearm and repair.

1. Desert Storm: hunt down a SCUD launcher deep in the desert.

2. Kuwait International: destroy the command bunker and SCUDs at the occupied airport.

3. Viper Down: at night, follow a downed F-16 pilot's beacon and winch him out before the search parties catch him.

4. Burning Fields: stop Iraqi sappers before their countdown blows the oil wells. Every well that burns darkens the sky.

5. Silkworm: defend your destroyer against anti-ship missiles and fast attack boats.

6. Overwatch: at dusk, drop a special forces team into a wadi. Cover them while they lase a SCUD hide for an air strike, then fly them home.

7. Convoy: escort two M1 Abrams and three Humvees along the coast road. Clear the minefields ahead and break the ambushes.

8. Oil Platform: at dawn, land two marine teams on two oil platforms ringed by attack boats and cover their assault.

9. Prison Camp: at night, fly eighteen POWs out from behind the wire, six at a time. Beware of the searchlights.

10. Highway Bridge: in a sandstorm, drop the bridge under a fleeing column with two SCUDs. Then stop the sappers building a pontoon bridge.

11. Kuwait City, the finale: take the harbour and winch six hostages off the embassy roof. Destroy the Republican Guard headquarters, and let none of its staff escape.
