- F-15 Strike eagle -  
|
|
In the early days of flight
simulators there weren't many games that could actually be classified as
a simulator because practically all of them were based on action rather
than realistically simulating the aircraft. This was more a hardware problem
than anything else because systems simply weren't powerfull enough to get
the job done. F-15 strike eagle is an action sim that lets you fly a F-15
in six historical missions that actually took place at one time.
The F-15 was designed to dominate the sky and it uses a variety of weapons
and defensive measures to do this. In the game though your defence is mostly
based on releasing chaff to use as a decoy for enemy missiles. You primary
weapons are your gun for close combat and a set number missiles, most likely
sidewinders. Each missions consists of one main target which you must take
out but there are also secondary targets which you need to complete the
mission. Ofcourse the enemy is not sitting still and there will be plenty
of aircraft and SAM's standing between you and victory.
Unfortunately F-15 strike eagle is not nearly complex enough to be called
a simulation by today's standards. Back then though machines simply were
not powerfull enough to give a fully fledged aircraft simulation. Having
only six missions and the fact that the difficulty level isn't that high
means the game won't last very long. It isn't simulation enough for diehards
and it's nog enough action either so sadly the game falls between genres
and it's only worth playing for nostalgic reasons.
Overal rating: 5/10
