Desert Strike - Return to the Gulf

Developer: Electronic Arts

Desert Strike - Return to the Gulf puts you in the cockpit of an attack helicopter across mission-based, isometric desert battlefields. Each level blends fast-paced shooting with resource management — limited fuel, armor and weaponry — rewarding tactical planning as much as reflexes. Tasks include rescues, destruction of enemy installations, convoy attacks and high-value target eliminations, all protected by heavy anti-aircraft and armored foes. The game’s tense pacing, memorable mission structure and challenging objectives deliver a satisfying blend of action and strategy that defined its Genesis/Mega Drive legacy and still evokes strong retro nostalgia.
