minus-squareZoopZeZoop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoI really enjoyed this on GameGear. My brother had it and I remember it being hard, but fair. We did pretty well.
minus-squareLushed_LungfishlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoMight be this. I’ll download and play. Though I seem to remember it was in the desert…
minus-squaredubyakaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI don’t think it’s jungle strike. Do you remember if it was sprite based or vector?
minus-squareLushed_LungfishlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoSprite based maybe? It was something like thirty years ago so we’re reaching back. I can confirm that it was on PC and I THINK it was on Windows 95.
minus-squaredubyakaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoEither way, Jungle Strike is the sequel (prequel?) to Desert Strike. Desert Strike definitely has a lot of desert, as you have described.
minus-squareLushed_LungfishlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoNot Army Men unfortunately. Though that was another series I loved!
minus-squareLushed_LungfishlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoNot SWIV, sorry but it looks neat! I’m going to give it a shot!

Army Men : Air Attack ?
Not Army Men unfortunately. Though that was another series I loved!
SWIV?
Not SWIV, sorry but it looks neat! I’m going to give it a shot!
