Play F-15 Strike Eagle (USA, Europe) Online

Pulling off missile shots on a blurry Game Boy screen feels impossible at first, but nailing that perfect strike after five crashes? Weirdly satisfying. The terrain’s just green smudges and enemies are radar blips—somehow it works.

Game Overview

F-15 Strike Eagle on Game Boy is one of those "how did they cram this onto a handheld?" kind of ports. You're basically flying a stripped-down version of the MicroProse sim from the '80s, which means pixelated jets and some seriously abstract radar blips for enemies. The controls take a minute to get used to—expect a lot of squinting at the tiny screen while trying to line up missile shots.

It's impressive they got dogfights and ground strikes working at all, though the terrain looks like someone smeared green paint on the cartridge. You’ll probably crash a few times before figuring out the weirdly sensitive landing mechanics. Not exactly Top Gun, but weirdly addictive once you get past the jank.
