Striker description
Arcade flying game, much like Scramble and Super Cobra - game arcade.
Main menu. The first mission begins. A rocket and a gun at the same time this can't end well.
The goal here is to spend your helicopter through the mountains to reach the destination and perform a specific mission. Along the way, will have to destroy enemies and refuel, in order to encourage ground tanks. These enemies are turrets, missiles, and five types of aliens that will be hindered to successfully complete the mission. In addition to problems with the enemies, you can simply not cope with control and crash into the mountain, and still need to monitor the fuel level. The helicopter can shoot machine guns and drop bombs in unlimited quantities. Depending on the level of the destination the player will need to take on Board spies, planting them on enemy buildings to pick up goods to save people from difficult terms and destroy the missile factories.
And it doesn't. You have four lives and I just lost one. Blow up the fuel tanks marked with "F" to collect points in the first couple of levels. Later on in the game you'll actually collect fuel from them by doing so. The end mission base. Land carefully on the pad or else you'll blow up.
A clear plot in the game, but there are five consecutive missions. In the first of these we have to take on Board spies near the small bunker. Secondly you need to plant the same spies on the enemy building. In the third, you should pick up three containers with cargo. The fourth will have to rescue people from burning buildings. In the fifth it is necessary to destroy the enemy factory that manufactures missiles. The quality of the performance of each job depends on the potential number of bonus points. Striker also has four difficulty levels, which differ in the number of opponents.
The spies board the chopper.
Graphically the game is represented by two CGA palettes that can be toggled in the settings of the game. Musical accompaniment of the gameplay, but there are tunes that sound the initial splash screen, after each mission and after completion of all levels. Control by keyboard (arrows, Space, X) or joystick.
In General, it is a quality of early shoot 'em up with the side view, the free distribution of the DOS. It is worth noting that this is the first helicopter game under this system.
