Summary:

After the success of the Wing Commander games, Chris Roberts and Origin turned their eye to developing a story-focused combat flight simulation. The result was Strike Commander.

Storyline:

Twenty-two years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the world has become embroiled in a series of conflicts centered around an ever-dwindling resource: oil. Mankind’s hopes for world peace lie battered and broken. Take command of Stern’s Wildcats, an elite squadron of mercs trying to fly straight in a world of deceit and violence. Engage rival merc squadrons, third world dictators, and the armies of the dreaded IRS. In a world gone mad, there’s plenty of room to fly, all that’s required is the cash. Strike Commander puts you in the best place to witness fast-paced dogfighting action: the pilot’s seat. Fly high as you take on over 60 missions, each more challenging than the last in your top-of the-line F16 squadron piloted by the best crew in the business (operational success rate of 86%). Strike Commander is a classic flight combat sim where a pilot is only as good as his, or her, last flight. Fly to survive and survive to fly, in this modern-day action-oriented jet fighter combat simulation! Strike Commander includes the original game, Strike Commander: Tactical Operations, and the expanded Speech Pack. Features Gauntlet mode: wave after wave of enemies.See how long you can survive! A powerful and gripping story set in an alternative future that didn't turn out quite as expected.
