In this military combat game, players control an F-15E Strike Eagle in various scenarios. The scenarios in the base game are Libya, the Persian Gulf, Vietnam, and the Middle East. In each mission, players have to fight a variety of enemy aircraft, satellites, watercraft, and more. But they also have to avoid hitting friendly targets. Depending on the mission score, players can earn promotions and medals.
The F-15E Strike Eagle is equipped with an M61 Vulcan rotary cannon and three different types of missiles, AMRAAMs, Mavericks, and Sidewinders.
