Full Strike Commander Mission

[googleisshittoss]

I wish GOG would bring this out!...It was the cause of many wasted hours in my youth

[bossinator666]

Now i know where "hawx" has stolen the enemy focus view...:)

[ComradeCommissar17]

I swear I thought the graphics were better

[arthur42]

To think this was once a top-of-the-line tech-pushing game is ... just ridicilous. And only shows how much gaming tech has evolved since then. :D

[wamphyr000]

@arthur42 It's held up pretty well though.

[JohnnyFavorite1970]

Ah man I remember everyone having kittens at the time because their 486's couldn't shift this. Good times.

[rossidavid]

"Alte Zeiten" *heul*

[jethjamesc]

SC is best flight sim ever made. Not just a flight sim but the gameplay also has realistic number of ammos.. AC's crap having 100+ missiles.. yeah very right how was that realistic?

[SigmaSixxx]

Those are SU-27s, not MiG-29s.

[ioctlvoid]

What version of Strike Commander is this and what sound hardware do you use? The Strike Commander version I've played did not have engine sound nor a lot of the other sound effects -- I know there is a speech pack, perhaps this speech pack added improved sound effects in general and not just speech? Also the original version supported MT32/LAPC-I, do you use that sound card, or something else? Perhaps the speech pack supports newer sound cards like the AWE32?

[timppa000]

@ioctlvoid Answering to this old question... To me the music on the video sounds like how the game sounded with Roland MT-32/CM-32L/LAPC-1 audio hardware, but the digitized sounds must be coming from some other sound card.

I think the expansion pack or the Gold version of the game added support also for General MIDI sound cards (like SB AWE32), but I have no idea if it sounds as good, as Strike Commander used Roland MT-32 capabilities very well.

[yaglourt]

damn my amiga was jealous of all that gorgeous realtime 3d

[ThrilloVanHouten]

I remember that the AA missiles in this game were almost completely useless; most dogfights wound up with me using the Vulcan to win.

[3dwardXP]

@ThrilloVanHouten

the AA missiles worked fine, but yes usually it goes to vulcan fights

especially with the add-on where you fly in the YF-22, its supposed to be air superiority but really they nerfed how many missiles you could carry and made it more sluggish! so really it just made it harder.

[bigblackdyx]

Dey pick up those MIG29 pilots from a crackhouse or what?!

[chiconspiracy]

I remember using guns a LOT in this game. It seemed no matter how crafty you were, your missiles ended up failing a lot. Epic game though. Every other flight sim since has seemed souless in comparison. Screw Ace Combat too.

[Breakerchase]

Did the enemy plane just scream when it was hit?

[xxxdieselyyy]

This is a superb game, not a simulator tho :P

"Why did yo' want to become a MiG-29 pilot?"

"'coz I couldn't flip burgers in McDonalds"......

The AI absolutely did suck. But otherwise the maintaining crap, storyline etc etc was good. I thought Aces over Europe had better AI personally.

[nibelung34343]

i love how the enemy plane screamed when you shot thim down

[ewthmatth]

i got this game from a SoundBlaster16 game pack (it also came with Wing Commander, Ultima 8, and Syndicate) back in the day. Oh the memories ^_^

[tenebraebr]

@ewthmatth lol I got the same game pack =D Man, I loved those games =D Good memmories, indeed

[proZzniper]

WOW Nice Graphics.. looks like x-plane9 .. what is your specs?!! looks very nice..

[Yapap1234567]

@proZzniper I really hope your being sarcastic :P

[bmaiabhe]

I loved this game sooooo much!!

[sindobrandnew]

Cool you don't use infinite bullet.

I'm not good at like you do so I got no choice hehe;;

[IronJackalTw]

sindobrandnew,

See the pointy nose of enemy aircrafts! That's where enemy aircrafts are moving toward at!

Try to aim in front of that direction and location!!

If the bullets fall behind the enemy aircrafts, try to leading the shot more!!

If the bullets fall before the enemy aircrafts, try to leading the shot less!!

Remember that this is not Wing Commander or X-Wing/TIE Fighter!

There is no shield for any of the enemy aircrafts, so just shoot off 5-6 rounds would take most of them down!!

[XHeiko]

But you guys gotta admit that the way Strike Commander uses music is not just a small atmospheric plus.

[Foxstab]

Awesome game, awesome music.

[ScreamingElectron]

ghetto

[Electronaut76]

the missiles sucked badly in this game, i always used the gun ^^ was more fun as well.

[schlang2]

i always let the autopilot land :D

[Revor0383]

this brings back memories. I played this when I was in the 5th grade. I miss it

[bertongtanga]

i did not sleep for 4 days for this game...first time a game did it to me...i still have the copy, i run it on dos box...but is so slow, this game brings back good memories...

[idanbismut]

i remember this game when i was a kid, i spent alot of time to play it. one of best simulators i've played.

What i liked most about this pc was mostly the gameplay with this entire aspect of "managing budget", buying ammo, etc., + the story line + intro before each mission, i loved it !!!!!

just wished there would be some company willing to "sequel" that classic game to modern days pc's, allow us to enjoy better graphics...

[cyberstal]

Indeed! Agree totally. I played H.A.W.X. recently and even though it had a similar storyline (i.e. flying for a PMC in the future) you couldn't get the management or the interaction with characters so it wasn't as good - amazing how good the gameplay is with the older games!

[gallivanter99]

@idanbismut it was SO good! everytime i played a flight sim afterwards I was just thinking 'where's the cool characters and the seedy guys in the bars offering me missions and the beautiful vixens that stab me in the back?!'

[GTVZone]

this game was a crysis for it s time.i was asking my dad to buy it...

but then i couldnt run it xD

[MERSLK230]

This game is great proof that you dont need good graphics to have a fun game.

This game is fucking awesome. I loved going to the little bar to get new missions.

[chiconspiricy]

Great game. I loved getting in close and using the machine gun. Sure saved a lot of money on missiles.

[Veloxi]

Wow this brings back memories.

[justflow99]

i try to install this one through DosBox,

the installation tries to install through drive a:\ anyone got an idea how do i emulate drive a:\ or what is the solution to this prob. will be greatly appriciated

[lemmingDOTname]

Have you tried subst a: ?

[spw488]

commands: mount a for data,like mount a f:\strike,then go with a: there,install to mounted c (maybe mount c f:\sc),select soundblaster as card,anythg else is poor sound in my dosbox.i play it with 4.5 ghz cpu and x52 pro LOL

[Twomaze]

SC beats even the newest Ace Combats Games. Its the most fun air combat game ever made!

[lotaloi]

@Twomaze

Hey buddy, I wanna play this game back again. But thinking how to in XP. Can I play in XP or in Win98?

Pls reply.....

[nornus]

@lotaloi

You can play it with DOSBOX. 

[lotaloi]

@lotaloi

I maybe asking ques like a child but I got no knowlege of what is "Dosbox". Would pls tell me what that is?

[BVargas78]

i remember getting this and privateer for christmas in 1993, it was one of my favourite christmas's ever back when i was a kid!

[TheDutchGhost]

Sounds like a good Christmas.

I have started to collect Origin games a couple of years ago and I recently got Strike Commander.

Wasn't easy to find but worth it.

Now I have Wing Commander Deluxe Edition, Super Wing Commander, WC1/2 pack, Privateer, WC3, WC4, WC5 (EA classic packs), Bioforge, Bad Blood, and now Strike Commander.

Guess I should now go for Ultima 7.

[BVargas78]

excellent, all good games. Ultima 7 is especially good, in my opinion remains one of the best role playing games ever made. The level of detail of the world of Britannia is amazing.

[TheDutchGhost]

Yeah, sadly they don't make games like this anymore.

I am also a Fallout fan but Fallout 3 was nothing like Fallout 1 and 2.

[sparrowlt]

A port of this jewell for PSP would be unbeliable good

[gattaccio1981]

I had finished it was great

[mickaka]

I remember being blown away by those graphics, Strike Commander is still a pleasure to play now.

[Turzumi]

Those planes are actually Su-27 Flankers, not MiG-29s ;)

[psvision]

never played this game before. but alot of similarity to wing commander(s) which i played alot. not very good graphics compared to flight simulators now, but that was the best back then. good job bring back those old memories.

[Arecibo]

I ran across this game (Tactical Operations version) and my old copy of SEAL Team tonight. Since there are plenty of SC videos up and no SEAL Team ones, I threw up a quick mission. So, if you want to get all nostaligic and stuff, click my name (searches don't pull my vid up yet).

These were two of my favourite games of the early nineties, along with Jetfighter II, TFX, F-117 Nighthawk.. good times.

[caiprinha21]

sweet

[peacepalace]

Best simulator i've ever played, with a story.

[nplanhouse]

The Best Simulator for PC.

O melhor simulador para pc que eu ja ví.

[Vonlitwin]

Tak Strike Commander to mój pierwszy oryginalny symulator, którego przeszedłem kilka razy,aż łezka w oku sie kręci na widok tych scen, to były dobre czasy i nasza młodosc ...........

[bemoll]

would you be so kind to paste you dosbox.conf file? I can run it but the sound seems weird (missiles sounds somehow faster, and I can't put sounds/music at the same time)

thanks in advanced :)

[eclipsxe2000]

this game was ahead of its time

[hudsontube]

The graphic look quite modern and much better than the original game...do you have something that improves the graphic? Or is this a modern remake of the original Strike Commander?

[rogerpenna]

dude, it looked EXACTLY like the video above, when I played this game back in the day.

But there were several graphics settings. Maybe you played the game on a 386 instead of a good 486 with 16mb ram?

[jacekmalina]

Heloo

Do you run this game at windows xp? And how capture?

regards

[Arecibo]

DOSBox, and probably the built-in DOSBox video capture feature.

[sizzlinbeef3]

The radar guided amraams are useful for long range targets, specifically slow moving ones such as the older migs. Sidewinders, I found, can be quite effective when tailing a jet at close proximity. Saved my ass in a few missions when the cannon went dry.

[unsightly]

Those air-to-air missiles are all fricking useless - he scores not one kill with them. Why even bother wasting money on those things - just use cannon.

[Pimpb99]

I like the "ahhhh" ;)

[fccctorres]

someone needs to seed this game!! i played this game for so many hours when i was young, it rocks ass!!!

[KingHaggis]

First time I've ever seen ingame footage of this game. I've always wanted to have it but could never get my hands on it back then. Always made me curious how the game was like and now I know I've been missing something back in the 90's. Doesn't quite match TFX though... Thanks for sharing.

[sparrowlt]

I own the original CD version of this game.. when i upgrade my computer i will play it again on DOS-BOX..

The only bad thing is that sidewinders and other missiles where useless.. meaning that you allways kill with the canon..

But the dogfighting action and variety of enemy planes was awesome

[xXxRadicalDreamerxXx]

Nice landing

[cz0985]

Such a great action! I played this game many years ago, it was really fantastic!!

[gullage]

This takes me back! i'd love to be able to play this again.

[rattaplan]

I always hoped they'd make a sequal to this awesome game. Unfortunately my prayers were never heard.

[darkman222xx]

BTW: Thanks for uploading!!!

[darkman222xx]

Yeah man thank, you so much!!! That was one of the gratest games I ever played. And the music was so cool compared to the shitty music in the Janes Combat Sims which came out years later. Unfortunately I cant get it running on any PC I have :(
