Summary

A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol feels like a modern take on the classic isometric shooters of the early ’90s, with gameplay echoing *Strike*. You choose between an F‑15 Eagle or an A‑10 Tankbuster, load it with air‑to‑ground or air‑to‑air missiles, then dive into eight combat zones patrolled by enemy F‑15s. The core mission is to blunt the Zarak army’s advance—destroy radar sites, air bases, oil pipelines, SCUD launchers and any ground vehicle that threatens a smaller neighbor. Pre‑mission screens let you balance firepower and resources, and your score for managing power, supplies and even “political sensitivity” decides which ending text appears. Dogfights, chain‑gun building destruction and time‑limit bonuses add variety. Critics praised its depth, scoring it as high as 94/100 (CVG) and 92% from several SNES magazines.

Storyline

In A.S.P.: Air Strike Patrol, you take the role of a fighter pilot tasked with defending the region from aggression. Your mission is to stop Zarak, representing Iraq, from invading the neighboring nation of Sweit, a stand‑in for Kuwait. The game puts you in the cockpit of a jet, flying combat sorties to thwart the enemy advance.
