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
@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.

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. .

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.
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!!!
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!
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.
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
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.
'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" 😂😂
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.
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
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"
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.
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
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.
@@MrFateorfaith Check out promo vids for "Cleared Hot." If it doesn't give Strike vibes, I don't know what would. th-cam.com/video/D8CX75ozs7Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=CfingerGames
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.
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
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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 ;^;
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.
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".
