F-15 Strike Eagle

Select a mission and you are immediately transported into the sophisticated cockpit of an F-15 fighter, fully armed for combat and heading into enemy airspace at high-speed.

Developed by the legendary Sid Meier, F-15 Strike Eagle has been described as a mega hit and a blockbuster. It was named Computer Gaming Worlds Action Game of the Year in 1985.

Much like Sid Meiers earlier Command Series titles, the gameplay is based on real life missions flown by F-15 fighter pilots in the Middle East and Asia in the 1970s and 80s. Meier collaborated with Air Force pilot John W. Bill Stealy to ensure the games accuracy. F-15 Strike Eagle marries authentic combat simulation with arcade action for an incredibly satisfying experience.

Using your arsenal of missiles, bombs, and cannons to take out a variety of ground targets, if you can survive air-to-air combat from enemy fighters.
