Summary
There aren't many fantasy simulators to compare this one to, but even if there were, it would have been tough to beat
The Good
The 3d graphics were excellent for their time, especially the complexity of
the terrain (the 3d creature models lacked character so i preffered the bitmapped
versions)
missions were varied and tense
role-playing elements made it more fun - you could have taken on special
challenge missions to improve your and your dragon's statistics, and advanced
through more and more powerful dragons
The Bad
at the time i was in love.
playing it a few years later i came to dislike the claw to claw battles, which
usually just amounted to endless turning around until you got lucky.
also, it was way too easy to outdistance most enemy dragons.
the flight model was also too simplistic.
The Bottom Line
Dragon Strike is a classic, and we're long overdue for a new dragon simulator. Maybe "ozzy's black skies" will fit the bill?
