High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Strike is the common name of a series of video games created by Mike Posehn, John Patrick Manley and Tony Barnes released between 1991 and 1997 by Electronic Arts for a number of video game systems. The games are multi-directional shooters shown from an isometric perspective. In the game, the player controls a helicopter (although in the following titles some levels require the player to successfully control other vehicles such as a hovercraft, an F-117 Nighthawk, a motorcycle and even on foot). The series is composed of five games, and was very popular during the 16-bit era.
