Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf is a classic 1992 shoot 'em up game by Electronic Arts that brings you the thrill of strategic warfare. As a player, you'll take control of an Apache helicopter, tasked with the mission of destroying enemy weapons, installations, and rescuing hostages. Inspired by the Gulf War, the game unfolds a conflict between the US and a Middle Eastern dictator, General Kilbaba. With the perfect blend of action and strategy, you'll navigate through open, multi-directional scrolling levels viewed from an isometric perspective.

Despite some controversy surrounding its release soon after the Gulf War, the game remains a classic in the retro shooter genre.
