      I had forgotten about this game. It was a fun time. I think there was a Jungle Strike also

      The last memory I have of Desert Strike going to a local video game and card game place (Heebeegeebees in Ogden, Utah before they expanded) with some of my siblings and buying this for some portable system (GBA?) and starting to play.

      I then heard the owner (who was still in the shop back then) say “We can do this the easy way or the hard way”. It had transpired that one of my siblings had tried to steal something. Cops got called, fun times.

      For those curious, the rumor was that the easy way was police and the hard way was him chasing you with a bat

      Someone is making a new one. I have it wishlisted on Steam. It is called Cleared Hot. Granted, I heard about it a LONG time ago and it still isn’t out.

      Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.

      Soviet Strike was really good. One of the first PlayStation games I played (rented from Blockbuster!)

      I remember being blown away by the video cutscenes in a game.
