Game Review

DragonStrike is a fantasy flight simulator created by Strategic Simulations Inc set in the AD&D world of Dragonlance. The game was released for the Amiga, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS in 1990.

Quite unusual for SSI, well known for great RPGs, to produce a 3D flight simulator. But this is not a standard flight sim because you can pilot a dragon in this game! You will fly and fight with your lance or with your dragon's breath in a set of different missions. Like any other flight sim, your tasks will involve patrolling areas, defeating enemies, or attacking bases (castles in this case). Just think Wings, but with fantasy settings.

The only negative thing about this great title is the limited area dedicated to the player's view, but this was a typical issue for 3D games released at the end of the 80s. Consider that the game was also released for the Commodore 64! Nevertheless, if you love D&D and flight sims, this is the perfect mix.
