10 Beloved Video Games That Deserve A Modern Reboot

9. The Strike Series

Back in the 1990s, EA made a trilogy of games (Desert Strike, Jungle Strike and Urban Strike) that put you in charge of flying a helicopter, which was of course armed to the teeth with a variety of weapons. They weren't all about action though, as you had to carefully manage your limited supply of fuel and ammunition. Nothing was more embarrassing than going to rescue a hostage and then suddenly falling out of the sky because you forgot to refuel. Clearly helicopter school just wasn't worth the money. The series went on to to release two more games in the form of Soviet Strike and Nuclear Strike before fading into obscurity. With other '90s franchises like Road Rash recently getting the reboot treatment, what's to stop the Strike series from making a comeback? It's not like helicopter-based games are everywhere, but shooting stuff today is just as popular as jumping on stuff was in the '90s. With today's technology, a new Strike game could use a mix of first and third-person views for controls. Maybe you could drop soldiers off at a mission location and then freely switch between controlling ground and air forces to complete objectives. Enough time has passed to completely reinvent the series while maintaining its original strategic core. If done with the love and care it deserves, it could be a game unlike anything else around.
