Jungle Strike is an isometric action-shooter released for the SNES in 1993 by Electronic Arts. As the direct sequel to Desert Strike, players once again take command of advanced military vehiclesโprimarily a Comanche attack helicopterโto complete tactical missions across varied environments. The campaign pits you against a South American drug lord and a Middle Eastern dictator, tasking you with destroying enemy bases, rescuing hostages, and carefully managing your vehicle’s fuel and ammunition.
How to Play
Each level features a series of objectives that must be completed in order. Use the map screen to locate your targets, friendly units, and vital supply crates. In the browser emulator, use the arrow keys to navigate. The Z, X, A, and S keys correspond to the SNES action buttons, allowing you to fire your chain gun, Hydra rockets, Hellfire missiles, and operate the winch. Press Enter to open the map and review your current mission status.
Tips
- Resource Management: Always prioritize picking up fuel drums before your gauge runs empty. A crash will cost you a life regardless of your armor level.
- Weapon Selection: Save your heavy Hellfire missiles for fortified bunkers and anti-aircraft weapons. Use the chain gun for infantry and light vehicles to conserve ammo.
- Explore for Armor: Keep an eye out for hidden armor crates to repair your helicopter after heavy firefights, especially before engaging boss targets.
