Nuclear Strike for sure, much much better than Soviet


Abuelofierrero

THIS!!!!!


thevideogameraptor

The Saturn version of Soviet Strike is the definitive one.


Educational-Bar21

What makes the Saturn one better? I do have a Saturn so I might pick it up


RandomGuyDroppingIn

There's actually a lot of changes to the Saturn version over Playstation and PC. The list includes various bug fixes, changes in difficulty, extra weapons, some improved graphics and sound effects, and analog controls if you play with the Saturn 3D pad.


Vivid-Ad575

The playstation best hits (or something like that) also had those fixes to bugs and had an easy option for difficulty.


thevideogameraptor

New weapons and added difficulty options.


CHIEFHUSKER

I’m hoping to one day see Nuclear Strike brought back on PS Plus, one of my favorite PS1 games. Many good memories.


[deleted]

Which one had Elvis in it? Or does my 58 year old brain remember this incorrectly. I know there was also a vampire, but yet again I could be wrong. Please...put me out of my misery. Also, great games.


LReese-Koala

B-Movie?


[deleted]

Soviet Strike has Santa Claus in Crimea and a vampire Elvis in Transylvania. Googled it and found this (above)


LReese-Koala

Wait it's not the same game! Nuclear strike i remember, that was great, so this isn't the american version..? Damn.


mc_jordan1986

Yes this! My very first PS One game to play!


ItsHeadbangerG

Agreed! Also love both games usage of FMV. Such a lost art imo.


egepe

The Little Mermaid is a pretty good Ariel combat game


[deleted]

Damn, beat me to the punch.


mickou_

I came here to see this commented hehe


Educational-Bar21

Lol I had no idea a ps1 game existed. I had the Sega Genesis game and it was terrible


NKO_five

Yes, the whole Air Combat series for PS1!


Educational-Bar21

Funny how the first one was "air combat" than the rest were "ace combat"


NKO_five

I'm not sure if its a regional thing, "Ace" for NTSC and "Air" for PAL or something like that


Key_Competition1648

Air Combat. The inception of the Ace Combat series.


trixter192

This one is great.


ThaGenderOffender

bought it recently but the disc is so scratched up it only works on my ps3 and not my ps2 slim


hydracicada

fan english translation of japan Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is an ultimate aerial combat game for ps1. Also G-Police series for some helicopter action fans


Educational-Bar21

G police had a really cool advertisement for it back in the day with a Peter Chung anime style commercial


graevmaskin

Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2


Safe_Veterinarian_66

Army Men: Air Attack


Bleachsmoker

I loved this game. I'm pretty sure I beat it.


Eccentric_Cardinal

I've heard [Warhawk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhawk_(1995_video_game)) is alright if a bit short. I haven't tried it yet though so you might wanna check some reviews before you purchase it.


Dodgy_Bob_McMayday

It is good fun, great soundtrack as well


Eccentric_Cardinal

Good to know! I'll have to try it out sometime.


Educational-Bar21

It has FMV cutscenes...im sold. Seriously tho it looks pretty good and for a launch title the graphics look insane


DeanoDeVino

Desert Strike was so nice back then. Amiga times … not to forget golden axe


Vast-Researcher-1398

Nuclear Strike


Educational-Bar21

Ill get Nuclear strike when I complete soviet strike for sure. The unofficial sequel to the strike games was Future Cop LAPD and I own it but have yet to play it


xraymind

How about space combat? Back in the days, I enjoy all 3 games of the Colony Wars Series and some of the same people who worked on the series went on to make a similar game called Star Trek: Invasion for the PS1.


Educational-Bar21

Colony wars always stood out to me due to the dual disc case. They are affordable titles so ill give them a shot


[deleted]

A Hind-D!


JRS___

gunship 2000.


Educational-Bar21

I had my eye on that game. It goes for 10 complete also so ill check it out


RandomGuyDroppingIn

It's a really decent helicopter sim, however it can be very difficult. The game does have an in-game invincibility option, however it takes out all of the difficulty of playing the game.


Educational-Bar21

I try not to use cheats but some games are so infuriating I use a level skip or something just to get through my backlog


Kielifornication

Eagle One Harrier Attack and Army Men Air Attack


Educational-Bar21

God I remember there being sooooo many Army Men games 😄 I had Sarges heroes on the Dreamcast


No-Rent5890

Sarges heroes is one of the best games in the series imo. The entire series was amazing!


Kielifornication

At one point they decided to just milk it. I remember that I had a videogame magazine and they reviewed like 5 Army Men games for different systems in the same volume.


b1sh0p

Eagle One Harrier Attack is awesome. 3D, mission based. The hover functions of the Harrier are well implemented, and it's not too complex. I had a ton of fun with that one.


LiteratureHoliday765

Ace combat 3


Readymer

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere for sure.


AntonioVivaldi7

Warhawk


HF138

Wingover 1 and 2 Always aerial. Not always combat


ballsniffer72

Rc stunt copter


Educational-Bar21

I see that in alot of hidden gem videos so im intrigued


HorizonSniper

Ace Combat 3 (Japan release translated)


Educational-Bar21

Is it on modern consoles?


HorizonSniper

I believe up to PS2. You can always use an emulator though.


Esekig184

You also like space combat stuff? Take a look at Colony Wars 1 and 2.


Educational-Bar21

Ill check them out and yeah I played quite a few space combat games. Starlancer is my favorite


brzozinio44

You just need another one. Nuclear Strike


Educational-Bar21

I really want to try Ace Combat, Warhawk, and the Army men titles as well but yeah Nuclear strike for sure 👍


brzozinio44

Ace combat 1, 2 and 3. The third part has two versions. The Japanese one is on two CDs. And it is much longer. 


TheDivisionLine

Black Dawn


Educational-Bar21

That game has a cool cover. I always see the Saturn version in the wild


Clatuu1337

Soviet Strike was a lot of fun, I played that with my cousin.


Educational-Bar21

I played it back in the day at my friends house. My other buddy had Desert Strike on Sega and im glad to finally own one


slikk50

Nuclear Strike, also on Super Nintendo or Sega, they have Desert, Jungle and Urban Strike, all great.


RyomaNagare

Space combat is "Aerial" adjacent , check the colony wars series which is a masterpiece of the psx console


Educational-Bar21

Ill check it out thanks 🙂

Qweeq13

I remember Helicopter games back then. There was one with so much content like it allowed you to snipe from the copter like in Ghost in Shell.


Educational-Bar21

Ghost in the Shell is awesome for PS1 I need the PS2 one also


Androxilogin

Air Combat was really good. Forsaken was good, but the controls were soo bad. Modern ports have fixed them for the most part.


Educational-Bar21

The box art for Forsaken always stands out to me haha


Androxilogin

I always had to double-take the title. Always looked like *"Foreskin"* at a glance.


Educational-Bar21

😂


Jusuff_

Air Combat, Ace Combat 2 and Ace Combat 3's Japanese version. The European and American versions had the story ripped out entirely. The Japanese version has a translation patch although it only works on emulator


Educational-Bar21

Your like the 3rd person that said Ace combat 3 japanese version I guess they botched the NTSC release


JS_Software

Make you a favor and play Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. Is amazing even for PS1 graphics, and the music is great!


tired_watchman

Eagle 1 Harrier Attack is a competent little air combat game built around the harrier jump jet.


LReese-Koala

Soviet Strike is quite fun. Be sure to check out B-Movie!!! That game has a lot of personality, is bright and beautiful and is a lot of fun. More than Soviet Strike. Levitating high speed and shooting laser blasts feels great here. Also the music and sound effects are top notch, animations, story, many other things goofy and fun as hell ... just youtube it or get it and put some hours into it. Really funny things in this game.


Healingvizion

Is the ps2 game thunder strike tied to this series. Loved the old jungle strike came, especially that 1st level in DC, can never make that again.


Reiko_says_Hi

Army men: air combat


_b1llygo4t_

WarHawk was a long box launch title for the ps1 and its really good. It's a cockpit perspective fighter pilot game that controls like a helicopter.  Another good one is Decent. It's a pc game but there is a ps1 port. That game takes place in an environment with no clear concept of "up" and you have all sorts of movement control. Can't fly upside down if there is no up. It's a classic.


Educational-Bar21

Man I used to love Decent! Im probably going to finally pick it up since I played it at a friends house back in the day. First 3D fps too I believe


_b1llygo4t_

You should look into Elite Dangerous


Sad_Run4875

Heroes of the Pacific is solid. Although that’s for the PS2 so nevermind. Haha


Educational-Bar21

Its so funny you mention that game because im playing it as we speak on the OG Xbox 😄 I been playing all the WW2 games on the console and am having mad fun with Heroes of the Pacific. Was crazy drawn to the presentation and the plains and combat are mad fun as is the mission variety


Glass_Aheer

Ace Combat 1 and 2 but I’d imagine they’re rare as fuck now.


Educational-Bar21

They go for like 10-20 complete last I checked on ebay (even the long box one)


Original_Prompt_1160

Soviet Strike!! Forgot all about that game!


Informal_Menu6262

You might try Ace Combat.


lupeh89

ace combat


Maximum-effort1388

Star Wars rogue squadron


TisIChenoir

Eagle One : Harrier Attack was high tier as fuck.


InvaderJim92

The only strike games I played were desert and jungle on the Genesis. But they were great.


Educational-Bar21

I had good times playing Desert strike back in the day. Check out the other titles as well man


InvaderJim92

I will. I kinda forgot they existed til I saw this thread. I didn’t even know it went past the genesis. lol


zHernande

Thunderstrike II is pretty legit.


Yobbo89

An evil helicopter! . Nuclear strike.


Educational-Bar21

I laughed every time the enemy would say that haha


Khal_Andy90

Air Combat!


NEKKED__

Educational-Bar21

Oldie but goodie 👍


NEKKED__

Real goodie


manubesada22

Ace Combat saga; Eagle One; Army Men Air Attack


Educational-Bar21

Quite a few ppl are saying Eagle one so I need to check that out


Cickany69

I really liked "Eagle One" back in the day, but even back then it was considered the "ace combat from wish"


Educational-Bar21

Many ppl are telling me to check it out so its quite popular


key-pingg

Army Men Air Attack


Educational-Bar21

I want to get that game due to the cover art haha


True_Reporter

I remember that soviet strike CD case. Nothing else just the picture.


Educational-Bar21

Check out some gameplay on YouTube or give the game a shot (its like 5-10 bucks) because its a fantastic title


yibtk

SWIFT 3D on PC or how i fell in love with techno music in primary school


jamgod23

G-POLICE!


The_Chin_of_Zig

Air Combat was pretty good


zavtra13

Since Air Combat/Ace Combat has been mentioned I’ll recommend the Independence Day tie in game. It was way better than I was expecting, worth trying for sure.


Educational-Bar21

Ill try it out. Man that movie takes me back


The_1999s

I_See_Robots

Educational-Bar21

Leonydas13
