After 5 years and a ton of work, my nostalgic helicopter game is out today on Steam! (Cleared Hot) Thanks for giving me this shot, Reddit. [I'm not OP]

Can we also fly a stealth fighter and a hovercraft?!?!?
Fair_Blood3176@reddit
Basass!!
Anyone play Comanche?
AlchemistMustang@reddit
Maximum Overkill! Still one of my favorite games of all time!
Frosty_Cloud_2888@reddit
Micropose? Like Maters of Orion Micropose?

Where is the little tow bar that comes down and picks up gas and ammo?
MizzelSc2@reddit
Wow, this looks amazing.

Desert strike is back!
Horse_Dad@reddit
I was thinking Gunship, but this makes more sense!
Mr_SunnyBones@reddit
Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong gunship here, but that (mid 80s game) was a 3D , in the cockpit simulator ?
Thick_Train_8323@reddit
hell yeah, that game was so fun, cant wait to dive back in
Jolly-Holiday819@reddit
I loved that game! And Jungle Strike and Urban Strike!
_--_Osiris_--_@reddit
All the strikes, loved em!
kaizencraft@reddit
I've had this on my wishlist for a while now, awesome that it's finally out. I think the dev may be a Xennial, too, if I remember right.
Sydney2London@reddit
I also got notified today that this was on early access! Congrats! Can’t wait to play it!
theslats@reddit
Same. Wish listed 10min into the demo.
Enigmatic_Observer@reddit
Same! The demo is great, can’t wait for the full release
16yearswasted@reddit
Darn I think the demo is gone
Darksuit117@reddit
Been seeing this on a few YouTubers channels.
muhredditone@reddit
Dude. That looks fun!
Hammerhandle@reddit
Memory unlocked!! What system did I play the original on? NES? Genesis?
syntheseiser@reddit
The first 3 were all released on PC, SNES, and Genesis
oskich@reddit
The Genesis version was the best one, that intro scene and music really blew my mind back then. The SNES version was a bit laggy and the DOS-version was a pain to get running with a not so new PC... "Not enough ems-memory" isn't really the thing your average 9-year old can fix by himself 😁
SweetCosmicPope@reddit
I remember playing on Genesis.
samueLLcooljackson@reddit
pretty sure there was an arcade version.
ObiWan-Shinoobi@reddit
This game is fun and definitely hits that nostalgia.
PembrokePercy@reddit
Bought it, played it, loved the hell out of it. Can’t wait for more. Played great on the Steam Deck btw.
LeftSmile806@reddit
If you can buy the rights to Air Wolf’s likeness and have it as an unlock able helicopter then I and millions others I’m sure will buy without hesitation
Ryeberry1@reddit
Fuck yeah, gonna go buy it, I've been waiting for it.
CombatDeffective@reddit
I don't have Steam, but this looks sick.
Gary_The_Snail_IV@reddit
Omg I've been looking for that
markltzero@reddit
Bought it, love it, great job.
BadassSasquatch@reddit
(insert Airwolf theme)
TenBear@reddit
Aww hell yeah giving me huge Strike (Desert, Jungle, Nuclear etc) vibes. If you bring this to consoles, im picking this one up.
Hans_Wermhat666@reddit
Thanks. Just got it. I love it. It is a blast! I played a couple of missions. Worth the money IMO!
mustachiomegazord@reddit
Ah shit, I’m gonna buy a steam deck aren’t I ?
battlecanary@reddit
Congrats! 🎉 I had a ton of fun playing the demo and will happily pull the trigger now that it's out
darthnut@reddit
I am so excited about this game. The guy who made it posted on reddit a while ago and I've been following it ever since. This is a buy tonight.
Redonkulator@reddit
TAKE MY MONEY
LetWaltCook@reddit
That is pretty sweet. Nice work.
Prestigious_Ear_2962@reddit
does it have the helicopter from airwolf?
jjmawaken@reddit
I don't have steam but looks fun
CucurbitoThePumpkin@reddit
I bought it an hour ago and already on mission 5. I love it, the Microprose logo gave me a shot of nostalgia.
Great game so far, 80s music and all. Get it!
16yearswasted@reddit
Been waiting for this to launch since the creator posted about it just before the pandemic. Caused me to load up a bunch of the old 'Strike games. They hold up well! Repetitive as hell but still fun.
SadAcanthocephala521@reddit
I bought myself an old Genesis and this was the first game I bought for it. Looks a little different on my 120" screen lol
InstructionFinal5190@reddit
Real question though, is can you get out and run around?
Looks great either way!
wolfmann99@reddit
Hey I already bought this about 5 hours ago, can't wait to play tonight!
CatBoyTrip@reddit
holy shit. desert strike and jungle strike were two of my favorite genesis games.
Fkappa@reddit
That's "AWESOME", not "nostalgic".
Desert and Jungle STrike never went out of fashion.
gullyfoyle777@reddit
I played the crap out of Jungle Strike.
SweetCosmicPope@reddit
Looks fucking awesome. I've wishlisted it now.
How does it play on Steamdeck?
GutsAndBlackStufff@reddit
Dope!
