Isometric helicopter action... mini...
All these games were great. Shooting and gunning across the globe in a helicopter armed to the gills. Gameplay is pretty simple, you fly around in an isometric view and collect ammunition with a winch while picking up friendly stranded soldiers with an automatic ladder.
Missions are pretty simple because you generally just go to a spot and blow everything up. When these games were hot, the graphics were just awesome, my we have come a long ways. If you missed out on all the strike games, never to late to start.
Desert strike is all about cruising over the sands, which is really just a backdrop for the shared gameplay mechanics.
