F-15 Strike Eagle DOS - 1985

 

 

F-15 Strike Eagle is a combat flight simulation game developed by MicroProse and released for MS-DOS in 1985. It was one of the first combat flight simulators that allowed players to fly the F-15 Eagle, a highly advanced fighter aircraft used by the United States Air Force.

In the game, players take on the role of an F-15 pilot and engage in a variety of missions, including air-to-air combat, ground attack, and reconnaissance. The game features a wide array of weapons and equipment, including missiles, bombs, and radar systems, and offers a realistic flight model that takes into account factors such as altitude, speed, and wind conditions.

F-15 Strike Eagle was a groundbreaking game in its time, and helped to establish MicroProse as a leading developer of combat flight simulators. It was followed by several sequels, including F-15 Strike Eagle II and F-15 Strike Eagle III, which built on the success of the original game and introduced new features and gameplay mechanics. 

MicroProse was a prominent developer of combat flight simulators in the 1980s and 1990s, and produced several notable titles in the genre. Here are some other combat flight simulators developed by MicroProse:
