Game Overview

Strike Commander came out for MS-DOS in 1993, developed by Origin Systems and published by Electronic Arts. It was a flight combat game that pushed the limits of PCs at the time, requiring a powerful machine just to run smoothly. You played as the leader of a private fighter squadron, taking on jobs in a near future world full of corporate conflicts and regional wars.

You control a modern jet fighter from the cockpit view, handling navigation, weapons, and communication. The main goal is to complete contracts, earn money, and keep your pilots happy and equipped. Key mechanics include managing your squadron's morale and finances, customizing your aircraft loadouts, and engaging in intense dogfights with realistic physics. The pacing shifts between high stress combat and strategic planning between missions. It feels like running a business where every decision carries weight, and one wrong move can leave you bankrupt or outgunned.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
