Game Review

Jetstrike is an arcade shooter created by Shadow Software and published in 1994 by Rasputin for the Amiga and Amiga CD32.

The authors of the game - Aaron and Adam Fothergill - had worked on another similar game for the Atari ST, called SkyStrike, developed in STOS (a language for developing videogames). Jetstrike is like an enhanced version of their previous title, but in this case, it was made for the Amiga and created in AMOS, the Amiga version of STOS.

The title is clearly inspired by Brøderbund's Wings of Fury, but as many reviewers have noticed, the amount of features of Jetstrike is much more abundant. The game allows you to pilot 32 aircraft, including many jets and even helicopters. Game modes include Training, Practice, Combat, and for two players, Aerolympics.

In 1994 it was not so easy to find new games for the Amiga, so Jetstrike was a pleasant surprise. We suggest you read the manual first, to learn how to fly, and if possible, find a good joystick!
