Reviews for F-15 Strike Eagle (#1702)

Review by p13z on 16 Aug 2014 (Rating: 4)

The Speccy port of this classic flight simulator starts promisingly, with simple but effective border effects used on the menu screens. The actual game is somewhat less simple and effective.
The bulk of the 16 bit game is here, with the emphasis on simulation. Its a technical marvel, but maybe a step too far for the humble 48k. Much of what made these games so appealing on 16 bit machines is missing on the Speccy. No cinematic graphics or option to link two machines for head to head combat.
Worth a play if you like this kind of game, but there is better on the Speccy.
