Game Overview

F-15 Super Strike Eagle on SNES is one of those games that makes you feel like you're actually wrestling with a jet—in a good way. The cockpit view pulls you right in, and suddenly you're banking hard to dodge missiles while scrambling to lock onto enemy fighters. The Japanese version feels slightly tighter than the Western release, with smoother handling when you're threading through canyon runs or lining up bombing passes.

What surprised me was how tactical it gets. You’ve got to manage radar locks, switch between air-to-air and ground targets on the fly, and conserve missiles like they’re your last snacks before a road trip. The pixel explosions when you nail a hit? Still satisfying decades later. Just expect to crash a lot at first—this isn’t some arcadey afterthought. It wants you to learn the F-15’s weight.

If you’ve got a soft spot for 90s flight sims or just miss games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s worth dusting off. Just don’t blame me when you lose an hour to "one more sortie."
