- Bad endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

Amiga's version from ANY GAME to another console: "i think you have a little less gore and impact on the others".
If Waxworks ever got ported to another console, I hope that is the case so I don't have to wuss out when ever I Game Over'd.
@@dnmstarsi And the game itself will loss about 80% of the impact in punish the player's "wrongness".
@@dnmstarsiit was on the DOS actually. (the game overs were just as bad though.)
@@spidermacho123 Not what I meant though the DOS version was seemingly released alongside the Amiga and Mac versions. Talking more of SNES and Genesis especially when DOS sounds like a Genesis game at times.
If Amiga was the original version of games it often had the best version.
But oof if it was arcade conversions then the poor amiga often ended up with some of the worst ones (except if it was an arcade game from tatio for some reason).
the thing that makes respawning in nuclear strike funnier to me is the way how another helicopter just slides into frame, not abruptly appearing from an extra life or having a fade out transition, he straight up slides onto the screen like “hey am i late?” to replace the one that just blew up
It depends on the circumstances of your death if you were over solid land you just landed and took off again (in universe your chopper has some sort of nano machine armor that self repairs) but if you were over water or uneven terrain that’s when you’d explode and another chopper flys into frame
the first one still sounds really funny to imagine, the helicopter briefly landing as if it was a bird taking a short rest to regain energy
@MysteryKitten pretty much the game is from 1997 so it was limited with what the graphics could do.
I really enjoyed the game I played it when I was 7 or so and couldn't get past the second campaign. Then I got the chance to play it again last year as an adult and finally finished the game (it's pretty short you can beat it in about 4 hours) and it really is fantastic it doesn't hold your hand like modern games and it took several play throughs before I understood all the mechanics.
Crazy how the bad endings got worse as the Strike series continued.
...Aside from that tiger one, what the hell was that-
It's around 2nd mission in Nuclear Strike. For some context, Nick was your copilot throughout the entirety of the proceeding game Soviet Strike. He was fun, rash, and with attitude in comparison to your silent protag and he played a serious role in a lot of storyline and missions. Compare to other strike games, Soviet Strike stuck you with one copilot who was also live action scenes, in comparsion to Desert, Urban and Jungle in which you had choices between copilots, and chances to unlock new ones thought campaigns by rescue some of them who were captured or MIA for other reasons.
So in Nuclear Strike, I think they tried to garner some early hate for the antagonist in this game by just having Nick captured during on of his infiltration missions (There were a few mission in the previous mission where the protag dropped him off to do missions on and he handled things on foot, with guns on hand.) and fed to a tiger...and the delivery was...didn't hit the feels.
The man who basically walked into literal warzones without much thought outside when you're going to pick him up...basically just fed to a tiger and that's it. Yeah, felt cheap then, and now.
. But hey, at least you will be rotated with new Copilots thought the entire new game...totally not giving us our freedom of choice like in the previous games.
Listen, my brother kept buying the whole strike series and leaving me to finish them. I'm happy that someone shared my thoughts on the fact that I got cheated when I learned about Amiga game over.
@@kasmiri3640 Well.
That explains the tiger, at least.
@@kasmiri3640 Quick clarification, it was the 2nd mission on the first level.
@@kasmiri3640 Most likely because they couldn't get his actor back for the part.
But I always figured that Nick was supposed to be the actual antagonist in Soviet Strike.
@@kasmiri3640I was 7 when I first played nuclear strike and the tiger scene scared the shit out of me; because you know tigers are a serious concern for 7 year old living in the suburbs of America
11:53 - Once you see the Fire Godzilla in the pilot's visor you can't unsee it.
13:51 - From what i remember at least the N64 version of Nuclear Strike had text messages despicting the scenario of what happens next after you fail a mission.
I always saw it as a Fire Godzilla. What actually is that red thing, though?
@@sgt.thompson98 You see crushing planes? For some reason they think helis would dive into earth just like that) And this heli is engulfed in flame .
omg...I SEE it! 💀
@@leodesouza915 N64 version even showed your crashed Helo.
You know what's even more depressing to think about than Perfect Dark being set in the past?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution takes place in 2027.
Don't forget that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes place in 2018
@@mungdaal9643
Metal gear is set in an alternative universe where fossil fuel ended sooner (1990) and they use a microbe to form more.
And is built on a ucronia where in the 70ies ish started to have major advancements in bionic and robotics fields.
And deus ex 2000 event in 2052
Rogue Trip was supposed to occur in 2012
The thing is when you lost a life the helicopter would crash and damage everything under it for massive damage. So in the last mission where you have to destroy a cargo plane that is escaping (it has a lot of HP) you just position yourself to get shot down over it and it takes out the cargo plane.
If you watched terraria videos back in 2011, you might remember the name Ymir (something on the lines of that). In his earlier videos, he used Desert Strike’s title screen theme as his intro!
yrimir? or do you mean someone else?
you're right! the title screen theme sounded familiar but i had no idea why
@@gotekeeper9519 yes, him. I couldn’t remember the exact name
The lack of a picture or FMV in the later games that could have had them to really show off that whole "horrors of war" vibe is a real missed opportunity.
I'm so glad this popped up. This game was my go-to on the Genesis. Urban Strike was my absolute favorite in the series. Countless hours on these masterpieces of the time.
Thanks for making this gem!!!
Man, I only ever played the SNES version of Desert Strike, I had no clue there was an Amiga port! It seems like the Amiga was the go-to console for gore.
Desert Strike!! Wonderful memories, big thank you for making the vid and putting a smile on my face, while I remember classics like 'Road Rage', somehow this one had slipped my mind
I played the hell out of all the Strike games. Loved how the terrorist response from American was to send a single Apache to deal with the problem lol. Because of vision problems I was told I could never fly a chopper, this was my substitute.
Damm Desert Strike, that game brainwashed my brain, but boy i sure do love that game. The intro alone is 10+
this was released 2 years after Desert Storm, it was definitely a take on real events.
The only channel I'll read subtitles for
'General Kilbaba' and an evil failed presidential candidate with millions of fanatical followers willing to kill for him... I guess Strike was Call of Duty before Call of Duty.
Reminds me of the SNES Mechwarrior game, and an equally hard one with a 'good' game over screen showing your ruined burning mech as well as when happens when you destroy a nuclear power generator on the planet you are currently on.
It's hilarious that the premise is obviously based on the invasion of Kuwait and then the subsequent invasion(all out assault) of Iraq, but it's also gonna be the player in one helicopter winning the war singlehandedly so "an all out assault is too risky so we're sending in a very special helicopter" 😂😂
Wdym i didnt see that on the SNES mechwarrior
This game is absolutely amazing... aged so well you can even play it nowadays with the same fell
Desert Strike on MD is such a nostalgia trip
This game was the literal second game i ever remember playing, the first being sonic 1.
So fucking nostalgia bomb for me
At least the dead and dying pilots had the decency to close the canopy upon their exit
I’ve been looking for the name of this game forever thank you so much
*blows up a ton of friendly troops*
"Damn it, not again! Let's try harder next time!"
All that’s missing was the Seinfeld theme along with a laughtrack and it would become a sitcom in no time.
Pretty much what happened any of the many times US pilots blew up friendlies in both wars with Iraq...
The Amiga GameOver sounds a little like Cannon Fodder one
I love that you make references to perfect dark AND Advance wars...I grew up with those games..albeit only in emulated form. I always did have a fancy for the classics! This one was always too hard for me, but I loved the theme for it! :D
man, i loved that game when i was a child, although it was in the early 2000, i lived in a rural area in brazil with no internet, so until i was gifted a ps2 in 2008, the only console i knew was the snes, and i had some games for it, and a pc with a snes emulator with some other games, and age of empires 2, and one of my favorites was this game, it was so more hardcore and "mature" than most other games i had, and the graphics were the most beautiful thing to me, it was also my first contact with any type of game based on modern military stuff, so to me, that was like, the arma game of my childhood
thx for reminding of this masterpiece
Memories unlocked. Playing this with my dad
"This time be a little more careful" XD
8:22 What an absolute git. Who is he anyway, and why is he waving a stick around at a pitifully destroyed helicopter?
Riflemen in this game can normally be ignored with impunity due to doing 5 points of damage out of your 800. But at some point, you will barely survive an encounter with multiple SAMs and this guy will be between you and health pickups.
6:33
atari american patriotism has never sounded more appealing.
Me and my dad's favorite series, thank you so much, what a pleasant and very heartwarming surprise 🥲
I played the sh out of the SNES ones as a kid. With all these random games getting reboots I honestly would be interested to see this series get a spiritual successor.
This game was infuriatingly difficult for me as a 10 year old. Nostalgia ❤
It's still hard as balls
Been trying to remember the name of desert strike…
I was at a bar not too long ago like “it was a top down shooter on the genesis where you were an Apache helicopter and every one was the effing peak of the genre”
I guess it was actually isometric nice
The amiga ending with the sad music reminds me of the gameover screen from Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
EDIT: For some reason I am now imagining a Crossover between Raptor and the Strike series called "Solar Strike"
My grandmother always played Desert Strike for me when I asked in the childhood days. May she rest in peace
So I loved Nuclear Strike back in the day on PC and I think I even played Desert Strike. I just found out that Microprose is kind of continuing the Strike franchise with the upcoming game "Cleared Hot". It doesn't appear to have the Strike IP, but it sure looks, feels, and sounds like the old Strike series. It's already on my Steam wishlist, I can't wait to try it.
You just made me very hopeful
@@MrFateorfaith Check out promo vids for "Cleared Hot." If it doesn't give Strike vibes, I don't know what would. ruclips.net/video/D8CX75ozs7Y/видео.html&ab_channel=CfingerGames
What about Future Cop LAPD? That was meant to be a Strike series game, before it changed into something else.
Played it on Amiga. Thanks for the vid, nice memories!
This moved his stone cold heart...
I admire that statement... 😏
Great video. Desert Strike remains my all time favorite from the Strike series. The story, setting, sound effects. Somehow later games did not captivate me as much, though Jungle Strike was a excellent sequel that I greatly enjoyed as well. But the explosions just weren't it anymore. Not to mention the horrible sounds from Urban Strike. The first part of that intro song was pretty awesome though!
The exclamation mark bit in the middle of this had me dying. Hilarious.
This game always felt like something "Only You Can Save Mankind" was directly referencing as part of videogames as Propaganda - very slick and smooth gameplay with great graphics that just happened to feature big, beefy Americans destroying Terrorists in oil fields.
It's still an amazing game though, never mind the messaging. Glad to see it again.
I loved this and Jungle Strike so much as a kid. I was terrible at both but still thought they were so cool.
I still have my copy of Soviet Strike. I have a bit of an unhealthy love of FMVs, so the game's plethora of (seemingly) professional-quality live-action FMVs got me interested, but with its brutal difficulty, I still can't get past the second level, even nowadays.
@@HilariousOperation I always played with the cheat code "Elvis lives", it give like 13 lives. It was the only way for me to finish it.
Always be strafing
Redecorated White House in Beirut Style... hahahaha
Perfect dark is now in the past...
Well, I'll just go check in at the old folks home...
Had all the Desert Strike games on MD/GEN some great memories
i was around 4-5 years old playing this! i was just smashing buttons and things happen. had a great time with this game😁
Was so much fun, so hard to find anything to compare to it today
I sank a lot of hours into this game...one of my favourite Mega Drive titles! Prowling around the outskirts of heavily defended sites trying to find angles to get at the anti-air took a bit of time and patience!
Jungle Strike was solid as well....but this really was the daddy!
Heh, if you find this unnerving you better not play Red Zone - it will give you nightmares!
3:00 About time Blue Archive references start getting popular, good one right there
DEPLOY THE "😭😭😭💢💢💢" SQUAD!!!
funny thing is the game got it pretty right, MANPADS and other SHORAD can utterly slaughter helicopters, that's why now you mainly see them dumb firing rockets into the air out of range of enemy AA. Gotta love that cheezy 90's military aesthetic though, god help anyone who would have tried to remake this after collateral murder came out.
Desert Strike for the Genesis was sooo frustrating. I loved it.
Had Desert Strike on the Megadrive and loved it! You didn't get the harrowing scenes in that version of the game. Thank god!
You got these cool games while I was only thinking of and playing super thunder blade and afterburner 🤯😵
Raptor: Call of the Shadows has a pretty gnarly game over too.
Didn't play Desert Strike. Played the sequel, Urban Strike. There was a sort of... veiledly cathartic in blowing up most of the DC area.
I have to admit, I never heard of some of the sequels to Desert Strike, but being eaten by a tiger was never on my bingo card.
Not sure if you destroy the giant C130, and then blowing up your frigate is possible
Desert Strike, Nuclear Strike, and Soviet Strike was my go to games back in the day.
Jammed this on the Amiga, fun times
great time for breakfast, watching my main man play underground games from my childhood!
I used to play this all the time as a kid! Dang been a min since I seen this
3:27 i thought the pilot and co pilot wasnt dead just knocked out because of crash dayum its make me surprised to see the actually the truth that theyre dead omg
Man i remember playing this on my gameboy. Good times.
Many a happy hour playing this in my youth
In MS-DOS version of Desert Strike, the crashed pilot flinches a little as he struggles before death. I remember being scared and never touched the game again when I was a kid.
Loved the Strike series.. classics! Another good one I never finished was Red Zone
No you are right about that music, made me tense right up
Urban Strike game over screen freaks me out when i was child back then 😂
So. Many. Memories!!!!
Loved those games!
Gee, the Amiga doesn't hold back. More like Enemiga if you ask me
Didn't even know there were more games in the series after Jungle Strike.
Love these types of games! I had one called seek and destroy iirc and it was an absolute blast.
General Kilbaba bears a striking resemblance to John Goodman
Holy Christ. I completely forgot about this. I remember that barely worked for me and always crashed.
I never managed to complete Desert Strike. I finished Jungle Strike and Urban Strike though. I felt them easier.
That Amiga game over should set the bar for what game overs are supposed to do. The music especially makes it hit hard.
Have you ever played Have a Nice Death? I think a boss analysis on it's last boss could be quite entertaining, especially with it's cheating XD
Also for creepy bad endings: Astro Boy Omega Factor. That one broke me the first time I saw it ;^;
then there's the Bad ending for Mortal Kombat when you beat the game with Raiden...well, so long Earth!
Man this reminds me of this one game on pc, a top down shoot em up/bullet hell type game. You were an airplane and you would shoot other planes and things. Standard fair. But when you ran out of lives and got a game over you would see the pilot dead in the cockpit with the crashed plane. Only the smoke was animated. It was years ago and I have no idea what that game was. But I still think about that image from time to time
Sounds brutal
isn´t there also a scene before when the pilot goes down. and then the scene of the crashed aircraft?
so not only do you see the crashed aircraft you also see the last moment of the aircraft falling and the scene of it falling (have a time limit of about 2 sec or so).
the one of the crash plays forever.
@@Zack_Wester I don’t recall that part but I do remember it lingering on the game over screen for a long time
Thank you for this.
This has more narrative chops than the last 75 seasons of Walking Dead.
I loved this game as a kid
This was basically an upgrade of choplifter from the commodore.
Apparently, there is a bad ending of sorts in Nuclear Strike. Not entirely sure about the details, but I think you get it by not reaching the stadium in time during the Peace campaign.
It's all of them. It's called Snafu where you fail the mission.
@@lastswordfighter Interesting. I did some digging, and I found the "bad endings" on not only Nuclear Strike, but also Soviet Strike. Detective Masterclass did two videos containing all FMVs, *including* the bad endings. The one on Nuclear is a North Korea's EAS broadcast, while Soviet has around half a dozen in the form of news reports. However, how do you get them I haven't got a clue.
I only ever owned desert strike and jungle strike on gameboy when I was kid. Good times
Man, I love the original Strike Trilogy. Played the Genesis version for Desert to Urban Strike
The Amiga ending was the developers going: Let's make some therapy bills happen
The guy cheering and then just leaving is extra insult to injury
Love this game as a kid. Never did beat any of them.
Woah, I played Soviet Strike on my ps1 for months and months as a kid. Barely made any progress as I was an idiot.
they don't make em like they used to. have you tried the missions on 6 days in fallujah that were just released? it was actually stressful trying to hit the insurgents between the civilians and I got yelled at for bad shots but the game didn't hold my hand about it like call of duty where you get the mission over message friendly fire won't be tolerated
God, the Genesis version of this game had an excellent soundtrack
Why does it look like that the co-pilot is just sunbathing in the first one? Also the President has nice english springer spaniel. (Dog).
Bring back the unique intros
In Nuclear strike, depending how advanced you were of the mission and in which mission you were and lose, the dialogues change, it has a lot of audios and show the consecuences of your acts.
However i am talking about the pc version, not sure about ps1 version.
I hope they reboot or Ramake or Remaster these games.
The model of the chopper this probably where Rockstar gets the idea to model FH-1 Hunter for GTA V.
I like how the first subordinate henchman in green uniform is basically sad dam Hussain and the next is Michael Jackson
What about a PC version? I am pretty sure there was a PC version of the first Strike game, with different music and cutscenes.
There definitely was a PC version, I used to play the snot out of it. Alas, I cannot attest as to the music and cutscenes - it was a pirated version running on a 486 without a soundcard. It did come with a nifty trainer, though. Cheers to Razor 1911!
I loved this game and the one that came out after it.
what a great game for it to be your only one. this also holds a special place for me but i played on genesis
