F-15 Strike Eagle was a combat flight simulator developed for the Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit and Apple II and eventually ported to other systems as well. This is not that game. Whereas F-15 Strike Eagle was much more of a true combat flight simulator, Super Strike Eagle is a somewhat simplified game with more of an arcade feel and except for the general theme, isn’t really related to the original or its sequels.
Super Strike Eagle was released by MicroProse for the Super Nintendo in 1993. In it, the player plays the role of a U.N. pilot attacking targets in various rogue nations, depending on the mission, in order to bring them back into line with the U.N. Despite the improved graphics, it really isn’t as good or as in depth as the original game. Still, it’s a decent game and ok for a bit of fun if you’re looking for a combat flight game on your Super Nintendo. Those looking for a true sim probably shouldn’t be looking on a console anyway, even today.
As far as I know, there were no sequels or re-releases of this game and it wasn’t available on any other system. If you are looking for this particular iteration of Strike Eagle, then a real SNES and cart or an emulator are your only choices.
I really hate how so many games on the Super Nintendo were preceded by the word “Super”…
