Super Strike Eagle is an arcade airplane war game that tests your Sidewinder missile and machine gun firing skills against various regimes of the early/mid 1990s. (Libya, Iraq, and North Korea offer Soviet weapons like the MiG-27 and the MiG-29 for you to shoot).
[edit] Plotline
In the game, you are a pilot for the United Nations. Your objective is to bring various governments around the world back into cooperation with the UN. Each time a military campaign against a certain regime is completed, the flag of the nation in question is again raised at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, NY. The storyline begins with a practice round and then continues to progress. Targets become progressively difficult to destroy. Unlike most shooter games, the player only has one plane. If the player crashes, the game is over and a screen indicating the nations (if any) that were reclaimed by the player displays.
[edit] Gameplay
There are various types of targets in the game, including air, land and water targets. Land targets include nuclear power plants. After these are destroyed, you may suffer from radiation sickness and will need to use one of your limited sorties to have it healed. Weapons in the game include guns, missles, electronic jammers, and bombs. Each course consists of both required and non-required targets. Shooting the non-required targets results in the accumulation of a higher score.
Although the game cannot be saved, there are a number of passwords the player can use to resume his/her mission at the appropriate place.
