I'm trying to remember the name of a series of games I used to love on the genesis. It was a top down/slightly angled view where you flew a helicopter around various battlefields. I remember having to stop over various buldings, lower a hook to get crates and items and then transport things to other locations all while being shot at and shooting at other people. They were great fun and I don't think I've come across any games with a similar style on any new systems. Thanks.

i just came across it. I was thinking of jungle strike and desert strike. These were great games. I'd love to see them come on wii's virtual console or remade on a new system.

Since you already answered your own question, I was wondering, which one is better in your opinion, Desert or Jungle Strike?

Personally I liked Jungle Strike or Urban Strike over Desert Strike. I loved using the stealth bomber in Jungle Strike, infinite ammo and fuel... awesome.

yeah, i figured somebody answered the Q pretty fast, considering Desert Strike is on multiple platforms (GBA, Lynx, Genesis, SNES) and they made Jungle strike, Urban Strike, Soviet Strike, and then another one I cant remember.

Jungle strike is my personal favorite, but if i can find a copy of Desert Strike for the GBA or the lynx for a decent price, i'll probably get it.

yeah soviet strike for ps1 was the best. it had an improved chase camera, but you could still press select and go to the classic jungle strike fixed cam view. plus it had incorporated cg in it and it came together better than jungle, dessert, or nuclear strike IMO.

I love these games and I'm glad to hear that there were a couple others in the series that I didn't know about (Soviet, Nuclear).
