Song of the Week

Hey look! I'm actually on time for once!

This week's song is from another game I had lots of experience with growing up.

Desert Strike is a really innovative game in that it takes the traditional 3rd Person aircraft shooter game, and turns it into a sandbox/open world type experience where you get to determine how you wish to complete the objectives necessary for a successful mission.

Often brutal, and certainly time consuming, this game really hit the spot back in the 90s by riffing off of the collective consciousness of Americans who had been glued to TVs watching the First Gulf War play out in front of them.

It also had music that entirely captured the 'tude mindset of the decade.


Music composed by Rob Hubbard and Brian Schmidt.
