The Amiga version is the best one of the bunch IMO, from what I remember the Megadrive version ran a little bit faster than on my old A600, but the Amiga versions's graphics were better overall and it also has better sound and that fantastic intro sequence with some top music!
Now this is a fun game! Nowdays they would put everything in 3d, give us "the largerst game world ever made" and other senseless stuff and kill the game. Oh 90's please come back :(
This looks like the ultimate version of Desert Strike. The PC version has a very annoying sound effect for the chopper's blades and the visuals are much better than the SNES/Megadrive versions.
Yeah, you gotta love how ahead of its time the Commodore Amiga was, This game is a great example of just how superior Amiga versions of games were to their SEGA, NINTENDO and even IBM counterparts. Better sound and graphics = better gaming experience imo
great video I encourage you to make more videos
check out my review of desert strike
I am sure you will enjoy it

yup, more imagination back then.
This one is in my amiga favorites top-10.
Seems like the makers of C&C had their ideas from this game hehe.

You're right, although I have to apologize for the bad quality of the video :(
But I think/hope everyone here on Youtube knows that actual gameplay DOES look better =)
