Name:	F-15 Strike Eagle 2
Author/Vendor:	MicroProse
Released:	1993
Type:	Flight simulator (military)
Language:	English
Premise:	The 8-bit classic roars back to life in a new 16-bit version loaded with the fast action and vivid graphics that were the trademark of the original. Enhancements include all-new 3D solid polygon graphics, a quarter of a million square miles of authentic terrain divided among four battle zones, streamlined flight and weapons control, a new "no crash" option, and true distance scaling. In the words of Computer Shopper (1990), "This may be the best air-combat simulator you've ever flown." Ported from the home computer version.
Impressions:	So much had to be recoded and reduced in order to port this to the Genesis that the end result is pretty much useless. It's kinda hard to have a full-blown flight sim that runs off of a three-button gamepad. No thanks - I'll take the personal computer version, because at least then I can get at all the controls. It's a shame, you know, because this was one cool military fighter sim in its day.
Variations:	"MPS Labs" version (this appears to be a beta release, with different opening screens and no sound) "Sega" version (this is the commercial release version as most of us know it)
Recommended Emu:	Megasis (MPS Labs version)
