Strike Fleet

DOS - 1989
Also available on: Amiga - Apple II - Atari ST - Commodore 64

Probably the most obscure game LucasFilm (now Lucasarts) ever released, Strike Fleet is a surprisingly good modern-day naval simulation, especially in light of their expertise in adventure games. It's not realistic by a long shot, but it's eminently playable and fun.

The game is sequel of sorts to LucasFilm's earlier P.H.M. Pegasus, but with better scenarios and more realistic gameplay. Your job is to lead the US fleet through increasingly challenging missions set around the world, including the Persian Gulf. The game's strongest point is the interface, which is very intuitive: all controls to each of the ship's stations are laid out nicely, and it's very easy to switch stations and order most commands with a keystroke.

Overall, this is an innovative but little-known real-time naval simulation that isn't the most realistic, but is highly playable. Thumbs up!

How can I run this on windows 10? Strike fleet and Red storm rising practically raised me 31 years ago

I would love to see a remake of this game with super enhanced graphics.

The mission I will always remember is the escape to New York... And I will forever hate the TU22M with it's ability to launch Kingfisher ASMs from well outside your radar range

I could never figure this game out, so I always ended up attacking my own fleet on a lark. I should really download this and try learning it properly ;)

I deeply agree with your comments, 24 years later I still remember this game very well and how much I've enjoyed it.
