Hoverstrike
Background: Terrakian Pirates have taken over a human colony on a distant world. You must go in on a preemptive strike and destroy key targets such as radar, fuel depots, and weapons. You pilot an armored hovercraft which take you over snow drifts, lava, desert, and water. This comes in both a cartridge and CD version. This is a review of the cartridge.Game Play: The game simulates how a hovercraft would move by pulling to one side or another. Some may say this is a disadvantage, but I think it adds to the realism. You are given missiles and photon cannon. The missiles are just plain fun to shoot. It seems that the game does not run as fast as it should, but the graphics are good. Pick up this game it is a fun shooter once you get over the loose control.

Pros: fun shooter and strategy
Cons: control is not very tight

Review by Randy Femrite

Highly underrated Jaguar game. Good graphics, good frame rate, great soundtrack. Lots of missions; land, air and water.
