Microprose's F15 Strike Eagle came out in 1984 for home
computers and Super Strike Eagle sorts of follows in its steps. The game
is an arcade/flying simulator where the player pilots a F15 fighter plane.
It proposes various missions, all based around mid-90s world conflicts
such as Iraq or North Korea. The F15 has a good arsenal of
weapons including machine guns, guided missiles and bombs. Each mission gets
the player to destroy various ground targets. The action usually starts way
offshore from a plane carrier. Once in the air, a 2D map gives the player an
idea of where his mission targets are and where enemy planes are located. The view
automatically switches to a more appropriate 3D 'inside the cockpit' mode when a dog fight
against other fighting planes occurs. Enemy planes can be shot down using
air-to-air missiles or the hard to aim machine gun. Once a target destination
is reached, the view switches to a 3D Mode 7 mode. There, the F-15
needs to quickly dive on enemy's facilities and destroy the area's target
with either bombs or machine gun. The game offers many missions and a
simple password system is used to save player's progress.

Super Strike Eagle, like most (if not all) of flying simulators
of the 16bit era, has badly aged. I never played this Super Famicom version when
it came out, but I am guessing that, even then, the game probably didn't look impressive despite some
neat Mode-7 sprite deformations. Missions are a bit on the boring side and except a couple of
interesting features here and there (like boats in the second mission), the
game just fails in every aspects : controls are awkward, gameplay is uninspired and
graphics are average. Some people make actually like this kind of game. I don't.
