F-15 Strike Eagle is a classic combat flight simulator brought to the NES by MicroProse. Players take command of the titular fighter jet to execute a variety of challenging combat missions that involve both intense air-to-air dogfights and strategic air-to-ground bombing runs.
How to Play
Your objective is to complete assigned missions by destroying primary targets while carefully managing your fuel, aircraft damage, and payload of missiles and bombs. Use the arrow keys (D-pad) to maneuver your aircraft’s pitch and roll. Press Z and X (A and B buttons) to fire weapons and adjust your speed, and use Enter and Shift (Start and Select) to navigate your instruments and switch between weapons.
Tips
- Keep a close eye on your radar to track enemy bogeys and incoming surface-to-air missiles before they enter visual range.
- Fuel management is critical; avoid flying at maximum afterburner thrust unless necessary to evade attacks.
- Use evasive maneuvers and drop flares immediately when the missile warning sounds to break enemy locks.
