I've only ever played the Genesis version, but the general seems a bit more merciless in the intro than most of the other versions ha. Also, the Lynx version is really smooth. It's too bad the Lynx never got as much 3rd-party love as the GB and GG.
The Atari Lynx is up there with the Vectrex and Dreamcast in terms of consoles that got utterly shafted through no fault of their own. (Their manufacturers on the other hand...)

It Just had tons of games, with many really good titles, even before the Pokemon series was launched. What is a system saver is basically amount of games.

@@sirissac234 Jungle Strike on the Amiga, Genesis/Mega-Drive, SNES did seem to look and/or sound better vs Desert Strike i would classify it as an update or an upgrade
@@jasonlee7816 Your personal "classification" which ignores the official designation and every other notable gaming authority means nothing. An "update" or "upgrade" is something added onto something. Not a "sequel" which clearly Jungle Strike is. It is an entirely new game. Urban Strike, Soviet Strike, and Nuclear Strike weren't merely "updates" to Desert Strike. They were also distinct separate SEQUELS.
I guess the torture scene in the Genesis/Mega Drive version and unreleased Mega/Sega CD version was too gruesome to be used in any other version that had the Kilbaba intro.
I plyed Choplifter on Sega Mastersystem and the helicopter in the Mastersystem version of Desert Strike reminds me of that game. I had Desert Strike for the Genesis (Megadrive) and and all titels that came afterwards. Too bad the series ended with Sovietstrike and never returned.
I remember having the rapid fire controller(the one with the switches above the buttons) for Genesis, and that if you were low on fuel you could fly over the water and you wouldn't run out lol....
I see no comments about how in the amiga version the copter seems to have weight. Yeah it turns only in 8 directions but at least when it tilts and speeds up or slowing down it seems to be doing something akin to existing. :D
You're talking about inertia. The Genesis version was programmed with that. Mike Poseh said that, that was one of the best things about it in his designs for the game. Other versions took this out and ruined it. Even the Amiga.
@@garethjohnstone8662 I clearly remember the amiga version having it. Played it two weeks ago. I mean...look at how in the genesis version it turnes around 110 degrees. Ridiculously Fast. That's....not...nice at all.
@@zoltanormosi5617 I see what you mean to an extent. But the Genesis version DID have inertia, just not to the extent the Amiga did. Like, the chopper tilted forward before it built full speed. It even has the options in the control settings to cut out the inertia.
I think I've tried pretty much every version of Desert Strike by various means possible. I've played Mega Drive version the most, but I believe other ports are good. SNES version is my second favorite and I don't care about some cut-scene changes and a little worse music quality, but sound effects is much better compared to Mega Drive version. DOS version have additional stage. Amiga version plays the hardest, but has overall quality better than any version. 8-bit version is actually not bad for what they was capable of. For me Desert Strike is in general a quality game which really shows in this video.
@@jasonlee7816 SNES version plays pretty much identical to Mega Drive version. One gameplay change is you can't use every weaponry at once, which is not a big issue as I've completed SNES version with no problems at all. That's the reason why it's my second favorite as PCDOS and Amiga versions don't have a proper controller support and playing on keyboard is a little hard for me. On your second I don't have really have a bigger preference between the two. I'd say they're pretty interchangeable for me as there is both pros and cons for both. I just like Desert Strike in general and think there is no bad version of it.
@NALTO Sound wise it depends on what game we will discuss. For Desert Strike I think SNES port have a much better sound design in general. Sound effects like rotor, gunshots and explosions and even winch sounds a little more realistic and less ear piercing compared to Mega Drive version which is very important as some we hear frequently and some constantly. Music is better on Sega, but SNES version doesn't sound as bad as a lot of people like to point out. Jungle Strike was such a bad port on SNES I can't even remember if it even had a decent sound. At least the main theme was still okay. Sound wise, Mega Drive version was a huge improvement from Desert Strike and probable over SNES port of this game. For Urban Strike I can't really say for sure, I think there was improvements like with Desert Strike. Mega Drive version doesn't have same ear piercing sound effects, but even if just a little better it's still an improvement in SNES port. I think some sound effects was very simplified as well, so there's really no clear winner in this category. Music does sounds bad... Really bad. SNES port was probably rushed or an afterthought.
Considering this game is from EA, who would no doubt fuck it up and add MTX, just imagine this trilogy redone in 3D like Nuclear Strike with the real-life cutscenes.
It was known as Electronic Arts, back then. It was eventually renamed EA because the company started to lean towards branding and big bucks and seeing as Electronic Arts was well known for its NFL games, etc that already had the EA Sports logo, They just began calling the whole company EA. And that's why it's shit today. All about bick bucks, big brands.
this must have started under Trip as Founder & CEO of EA, even tho they backstabbed him in ‘91. EA was completely different back then. They did not nickel & dime developers. And had a really great reputation in terms of quality, gameplay and art. as you can see, each port had its own team of excellent devs to keep the vision of the game while pressing the hardware to get out everything it had to offer.
The Lynx version, impressive as it is, suffers from the small screen and low resolution restrictions imposed on it by the standard Lynx LCD screen. It's also missing the ground detail. Telegsmes also screwed up a few gameplay elements 😭

@@danyoutube7491I think he means the 60hz not 50hz version, what was shown might be the NTSC version of the game, where I suspect most gamers played the PAL version at 50hz, which from what I remember ran smooth.
@UCmxTkOGs8Ymha56-8vLkojQ Its significantly better than the other contemporary ports. Better color gradiants, more frames of animation on the rotating satellite dish, Much more sophisticated sounds. Its just a notch better than the 2 16 bit consoles everywhere, and that is a rare victory.
@@jasonlee7816 I thought the amiga version was far ahead of the MD/snes ports by quite a bit. And I will actually give props to the SMS for doing as well as it does graphically, even though it plays like poo. I think in this case the game has a bit more complexity that the small vram/tilemem spaces in the consoles can't quite handle so they cut back a bit. And the larger chip memory of the amiga allows some more freedom. Like when things blow up on the Amiga it is an actual fireblaze, and on the snes its a ball of white dust. The satellite dish also has significantly more frames of animation on the Amiga. Though I don't really see the amiga port particularly taking advantage of the extra pallet options of the AGA chipset, so I am not sure which chipset it was aimed at. I would assume AGA but if its playable on OCS I would be impressed. I would have hoped the snes would have had the best color depth, but it seems like the Amiga does a bit better here, though slighlty. With the dos version having some objects being more detailed. Sound is also no contest. MD is not bad, Snes a little better, Amiga using full sampled music and sounds with positional audio. Dos version is a bit disappointing as is the GBA port. And the rest are glorified 8 bit ports. And also the SNES doesn't really stand out against the MD that I can see... Of course I am talking about the gameplay not the intro. It has a couple of better elements perhaps but its not in the kind of differences that is reflected in its superiority over the MD. The Amiga is really a standout here, and its great to see.
Most of the time, the programmers because of one of the following reasons, didn’t make full use of Amiga custom chips. It was even possible to create games that were better than arcade versions especially on AGA Amigas with a few limitations regarding sprite colors. Limited time and/or budget. Not knowing the design of Amiga If the programmers had enough time and budget, I’m sure they could have made the scrolling 60fps.
If you look through a very repidly rotating fan, it becomes translucent, almost, right? That's because light (whatever is behind the fan) is getting through form the other side in enough frequency to hit your eyeballs as to render them almost invisible. Same for casting a shadow.
I'm surprised, considering all the hype I heard around the Lynx (never had one, just heard it was wildly powerful) I'm not impressed here. Maybe it's just a rough port or something but, the low res really seems to hamper it. There's no detail to the desert, at all. The GG version looks better which isn't something I expected given all the stuff I heard. The GBA version is a yikes with that with the copter's engine noise being so poorly looped. GBA usually got solid ports but then there's Desert Strike and the Earth Worm Jim ports. . . Yikes.
Muy grande el video, al final a pesar de que la version de SNES parece ser que es la que mejor calidad tienes, tonterías como la censura ( la ostia q le pega el dictador a su comandante en la presentacion) , hacen q me decante por la version de mega cd. Muy meritoria la version de GBA, y por supuesto, la de AMIGA con las voces digitalizadas, era una gozada. 1.MEGACD 2.AMIGA 3.GBA OUt SNES by censored
@@jasonlee7816 Hi there. Very simple, i hate how Nintendo censored games, (intro SNES, the dictator dont hit to coronel), Later, megacd has a músic nice and graphics a little bit improvment, Amiga just a fan, i love the digital voices and playable, last GBA cause its really meritored that versión.
Mi favorita es la versión de Sega Genesis, el sonido es muy superior que la versión de Snes, aparte la intro de Sega Genesis no está censurada como en muchos otros títulos de Snes.
The mega drive version was the best for me because you can barely hear the chopper's rotor. In the other versions, the constant rotor's sound must drive you crazy after a moment... Just like Jungle Strike, come to think of it...
To me it sounds more grating, it's quiet and in its own way sounds quite cool, but you can nevertheless hear it and the pitch of it grates on me quickly. I had the Amiga and always liked the rotor noise on that, it never bothered me and in fact I liked hearing it.
@@noop9k Sound is better on Amiga. Mega cd closes the gap a bit and has better music. The animation and scrolling is worse on the Amiga. The amiga does have some extra animation though, it just runs slowly. Its a 25 fps ( sometimes lower ) vs 60 fps . Same as you always see in Amiga vs Consoles. Even though its slower , I don't think it hurts the game here and the atmosphere is just a bit better on Amiga. Ill go Amiga 1st, mega cd 2nd.
@@leighbyford635 guess I could not see the bad framerate because my TV added extra frames. Will turn this feature off and rewatch. What I noticed though is that, say, radar dish animation has more frames.

How did you get the amiga version to run so smoothly
? As I recall it played smoothly no problem, we got the demo for our A500. I can't remember now whether we got the full game too, I think we did.
@@danyoutube7491I think he means the 60hz not 50hz version, what was shown might be the NTSC version of the game, where I suspect most gamers played the PAL version at 50hz, which from what I remember ran smooth.
amiga has a great port here
@UCmxTkOGs8Ymha56-8vLkojQ Its significantly better than the other contemporary ports. Better color gradiants, more frames of animation on the rotating satellite dish, Much more sophisticated sounds. Its just a notch better than the 2 16 bit consoles everywhere, and that is a rare victory.
@@jasonlee7816 You watched the video right?
@@wishusknight3009 yes i watched it Amiga, GBA, Mega-Drive, SNES versions
look and/or sound a bit similar for me to decide what is the best version
were the other versions GBA, Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive/CD, SNES not as great?
@@jasonlee7816 I thought the amiga version was far ahead of the MD/snes ports by quite a bit. And I will actually give props to the SMS for doing as well as it does graphically, even though it plays like poo.
I think in this case the game has a bit more complexity that the small vram/tilemem spaces in the consoles can't quite handle so they cut back a bit. And the larger chip memory of the amiga allows some more freedom. Like when things blow up on the Amiga it is an actual fireblaze, and on the snes its a ball of white dust. The satellite dish also has significantly more frames of animation on the Amiga. Though I don't really see the amiga port particularly taking advantage of the extra pallet options of the AGA chipset, so I am not sure which chipset it was aimed at. I would assume AGA but if its playable on OCS I would be impressed. I would have hoped the snes would have had the best color depth, but it seems like the Amiga does a bit better here, though slighlty. With the dos version having some objects being more detailed.
Sound is also no contest. MD is not bad, Snes a little better, Amiga using full sampled music and sounds with positional audio.
Dos version is a bit disappointing as is the GBA port. And the rest are glorified 8 bit ports.
And also the SNES doesn't really stand out against the MD that I can see... Of course I am talking about the gameplay not the intro. It has a couple of better elements perhaps but its not in the kind of differences that is reflected in its superiority over the MD.
The Amiga is really a standout here, and its great to see.
Sega Mega Drive is the king and best version ! 🤟. OST is very kickass
Suggestion: Commando
wasn't there a ps1 version? or did it just look the same?
SNES version is doodoo, Amiga FTW 😎
Most of the time, the programmers because of one of the following reasons, didn’t make full use of Amiga custom chips. It was even possible to create games that were better than arcade versions especially on AGA Amigas with a few limitations regarding sprite colors.
Limited time and/or budget.
Not knowing the design of Amiga
If the programmers had enough time and budget, I’m sure they could have made the scrolling 60fps.
I was impressed that the utilized half bright with the shadow unlike the genesis version of every other pixel.
Video idea: Sonic Clone Comparison (Somari, Jurassic Boy 2, etc.)
Best game, best ports.
some of the versions are not
(weren’t) as good as others
i have the GBA Version, i like it.
none of the versions had a
shadow of the rotor blade
If you look through a very repidly rotating fan, it becomes translucent, almost, right? That's because light (whatever is behind the fan) is getting through form the other side in enough frequency to hit your eyeballs as to render them almost invisible. Same for casting a shadow.
One if the best video games ever!
@@jasonlee7816 It was the best for its time I meant.
8-bit versions nope
16-bit versions yes

Why the graphics remember me of theotown?
The music is, a hasbootlegbabyhaswowprettystrike
what
Amiga and DOS versions have Michael Jackson.
Do Space Invaders game comparison, plz?
Jungle Strike ?
Urban Strike ?
I'm surprised, considering all the hype I heard around the Lynx (never had one, just heard it was wildly powerful) I'm not impressed here. Maybe it's just a rough port or something but, the low res really seems to hamper it.
There's no detail to the desert, at all. The GG version looks better which isn't something I expected given all the stuff I heard.
The GBA version is a yikes with that with the copter's engine noise being so poorly looped. GBA usually got solid ports but then there's Desert Strike and the Earth Worm Jim ports. . . Yikes.
Muy grande el video, al final a pesar de que la version de SNES parece ser que es la que mejor calidad tienes, tonterías como la censura ( la ostia q le pega el dictador a su comandante en la presentacion) , hacen q me decante por la version de mega cd. Muy meritoria la version de GBA, y por supuesto, la de AMIGA con las voces digitalizadas, era una gozada.
1.MEGACD
2.AMIGA
3.GBA
OUt SNES by censored
can i ask why did you choose them in that order?
@@jasonlee7816 Hi there.
Very simple, i hate how Nintendo censored games, (intro SNES, the dictator dont hit to coronel),
Later, megacd has a músic nice and graphics a little bit improvment, Amiga just a fan, i love the digital voices and playable, last GBA cause its really meritored that versión.
Mi favorita es la versión de Sega Genesis, el sonido es muy superior que la versión de Snes, aparte la intro de Sega Genesis no está censurada como en muchos otros títulos de Snes.
The mega drive version was the best for me because you can barely hear the chopper's rotor.
In the other versions, the constant rotor's sound must drive you crazy after a moment... Just like Jungle Strike, come to think of it...
To me it sounds more grating, it's quiet and in its own way sounds quite cool, but you can nevertheless hear it and the pitch of it grates on me quickly. I had the Amiga and always liked the rotor noise on that, it never bothered me and in fact I liked hearing it.
atari lynx for the win
SNES and megadrive for graphics, but the Amiga version had good sound
i choose GBA and/or SNES for the audio, graphics, music, sound, visuals
Amiga version is 64 colors on screen.
The Amiga version wins this one.
Explosions looks horrible.
Other than that, yes.
Though 1-button joystick is probably not very convenient.
Can be played with 2 button as well which is what I used to play
@@jasonlee7816 Smoother animations, cleaner richer sound effects than most ports. Noticed silent explosions in sega versions?
@@noop9k Sound is better on Amiga. Mega cd closes the gap a bit and has better music.
The animation and scrolling is worse on the Amiga. The amiga does have some extra animation though, it just runs slowly. Its a 25 fps ( sometimes lower ) vs 60 fps . Same as you always see in Amiga vs Consoles.
Even though its slower , I don't think it hurts the game here and the atmosphere is just a bit better on Amiga.
Ill go Amiga 1st, mega cd 2nd.
@@leighbyford635 guess I could not see the bad framerate because my TV added extra frames. Will turn this feature off and rewatch. What I noticed though is that, say, radar dish animation has more frames.
I think the orginal Gameboy version is AMAZING!
Game Boy Advance is, looks, sounds amazing
Great job
How hard would it be for EA to remaster this series for windows 10.
it might make more sense to remaster it for the PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Series X
@@jasonlee7816 The mouse and keyboard would be better for me, signed old man who loves video games just not very good.
@@paulgrossi60 No offense but I would rather current EA not go near it.
SEGA GENESIS WITH XBOX 360
SNES WITH PS3
NES WITH PS2
GAME BOY WITH PSP
GAME GEAR WITH WII-U
MASTER SYSTEM WITH WII
LOL WTF did they do with the SNES version?? The lead trumpet in the theme sounds horribly off-key. Who OKd this??
Master system win.
No, Game Gear wins!
This game (in sega) has a version 2, with 10 stage. Does anybody name of this game?
play with helicopter and Soldier in some stage
Jungle Strike or Urban Strike?
@@jasonlee7816 thanks. but it is not. in version 2 very look like version 1. but with 1000 life. in some mission Soldier come out helicopter
@@amiramiry4187 Urban Strike was the one with on foot missions.
The instrument that plays the melody of the opening song of the snes seems very out of tune IoI
Genesis rules
Fear of toilet 🚽
amiga
Amiga wins
A melhor versão é do Amiga👍
The amount of ads is awful :(
if u are watching it in ur computer use Adblock Plus, if not then it's time to look an alternative to RUclips or something to bypass the ads
Listen to what the other comment here suggested. I use Adblock Plus and never see ads.
Amiga version is more enjoyable.
Genesis - best sound effects
SNES - best music
That snes title screen theme begs to differ.
GBA and SNES Wins!!! =D
