'''''Strike Commander''''' is a [[Combat flight simulation game|combat flight simulation video game]] designed by [[Chris Roberts (film producer)|Chris Roberts]] and released by [[Origin Systems]] for the PC [[DOS]] in 1993. Its 3D graphics-engine used both [[gouraud shading]] and texture-mapping on both aircraft-models and terrain, an impressive feat at the time. Significant plot elements were presented through in-game cut-scene animations, a hallmark storytelling vehicle from Chris Robert's previous ''[[Wing Commander (franchise)|Wing Commander]]'' games. ''Strike Commander'' has been called "''[[Wing Commander: Privateer|Privateer]]'' on Earth", due to the mercenary role-playing in the game.

The game was mass released in 1994 as part of a Creative Labs bundle pack with ''[[Syndicate Plus]]'', ''[[Ultima VIII: Pagan]]'' and ''[[Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi]]''. It was also available in a CD bundle with ''Wing Commander: Privateer''; both games included the core game, the expansion pack and voice pack on a single [[CD-ROM]] disc.

The game was re-released in 2013 on [[Gog.com]] with support for [[Windows]] and [[macOS]].
