BEST MISSIONS

Jungle Strike’s most memorable sorties

sub hunt

As early as this second level, Jungle Strike is throwing new enemies at the player and letting them loose in a secret experimental hovercraft. Armed to the teeth with rockets and mines, this nifty vehicle easily evades AA guns and must intercept the Drug Lord’s plutonium shipments. Then, you’ll need to use formidable sea mines to take out the drug lord’s massive submarines.

Training Grounds

It’s familiar territory in level three as a barren brown wasteland lies in front of the Comanche. There are danger zones aplenty here, complete with powerful Sheridan tanks as the player must fly deep into enemy territory and retrieve a nuclear reactor from the drug lord’s warehouse. Best not to accidentally shoot it, though – check your fire, pilot!

Puloso City

With echoes of the situation occuring in reallife Somalia at the time, Puloso City is under the control of the drug lord with his henchmen holding the city hostage, and an ineffective UN force camped nearby. With the action spread out and varied (including the use of a nifty motorcycle), this is another solid mission with plenty to do… and shoot.

snow fortress

It’s a drastic change of scenery as we elevate our helicopter into the snow-capped mountains and the drug lord’s retreat. The first task is to rescue ace copilot Wild Bill. Once he’s on board, your chain gun will sing bullets, leaving you free to take out multiple missile launchers and the madman’s stash of stolen Soviet nuclear warheads.

River Raid

Snaking through this mission is the dangerous stretch of water, and next to one bend is an airstrip with the stealth bomber lying under camouflage. This is a beast to control, and extremely delicate, yet it houses some impressively destructive missiles and bombs. You’re granted infinite ammo and fuel, too! Just take care to not bump into anything.
