With Desert Strike EA managed to craft one of the most stunningly realised experiences on the Megadrive, but its short running time left fans clamouring for more. With Jungle Strike they got it, as the game took everything that made Desert Strike great and simply gave fans even more of it, all in an entirely new setting.

Players had to juggle resources - such as fuel and ammo - with their mission objectives, which varied from taking out strategic targets to rescuing political prisoners and hostages.

It is one of the most absorbing games on the console, requiring both skill and strategy to get the job done. Nothing feels quite like managing to complete your final objective and reaching the safety of your carrier with only a few units of fuel remaining.
