Desert Strike throws you into the cockpit of an Apache helicopter in a fictionalized Gulf War. Its mix of action, resource management, and a surprisingly thoughtful take on the conflict made it stand out back in the day. The isometric graphics are definitely dated, and the controls take some getting used to, but it still has a unique sense of tension and strategy. If you're into retro gaming, or just want to experience a piece of gaming history, Desert Strike is worth checking out.
