Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf
-
Version
1.0
Released originally in 1992 for the Amiga, Mega
Drive/Genesis, Master System and Super NES, and later
(1994) for DOS Personal Computers. It was also
released for most portable platforms; the Atari Lynx
was the first, in 1993, followed by the Game Gear
(1994), Game Boy (1995) and finally Game Boy Advance
in 2002, developed by Budcat Creations.[1] In November
2006, Electronic Arts also ported Desert Strike to the
PlayStation Portable as part of EA Replay.
The story follows the player, an AH-64 Apache
(although the title screen for most versions seems to
show a Comanche used in the game's sequel instead as
the rear rotor of the helicopter used in the game was
actually Comanche's rear rotor) pilot in a conflict
inspired by the Gulf War. A year after the Gulf War,
General Ibn Kilbaba takes over a small Arab Emirate
and plans to start World War III, and the player must
open way for ground troops by disabling most of his
defense and offense, and finally take on the "Madman"
himself.
