First time I try this on a non-Amiga. Awesome game, also the SEGA Genesis original.

After moving to my new apartment today, I wanted to do something fun and special, so I set up my TV and my Genesis, and picked a random game from a box. he game turned ou to be Desert Strike, so I tried the first missions. I failed during the Airfields part of the mission. Great game over music.

After playing Fire Power, I felt like playing a similar game from the air instead. For the first time, I managed use the map carefully, avoid getting hit by anti-air missiles by charging in with Hydras, protected the spy, and beat the first mission.
