Editing Strike Commander (section)

==Reception==
James Trunzo reviewed ''Strike Commander'' in ''[[White Wolf (magazine)|White Wolf]]'' #37 (July/Aug., 1993) and stated that "Zoom across oceans and watch waves ripple as you streak by. Fly over snow-capped mountains and travel to detailed cities complete with skyscrapers and factories. Take out drug cartels, strafe battlefields and escort diplomats as you try to survive in a war-torn world of the near future. ''Strike Commander'' took years to arrive on the scene, but with upcoming add-ons, you'll be playing it for a lot longer than that!"<ref name="WW37">{{Cite magazine |last=Trunzo |first=James |date=July–August 1993|title=The Silicon Dungeon |magazine= [[White Wolf Magazine]] |number=37 |pages=60, 62 |url=https://imgur.com/a/vYdlufI}}</ref>

In August 1993 ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' wrote that "''Strike'' is not and does not attempt to be a high-fidelity simulation ... It focuses on action and combat" and "is designed to get players in the air and having fun in the shortest amount of time", with a "much gentler learning curve" than ''[[Falcon 3.0]]'' or ''[[Red Baron (1990 video game)|Red Baron]]'' and better graphics than ''[[F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0|F-117 Stealth Fighter 2.0]]'' or ''[[Jetfighter (series)|Jetfighter]]''.<ref name="basham199308">{{cite magazine | url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1993&pub=2&id=109 | title=Origin's Strike Commander | magazine=Computer Gaming World | date=August 1993 | accessdate=12 July 2014 | author=Basham, Tom | pages=130}}</ref> In December the magazine described the game as "probably the most hardware-intensive game yet released".<ref name="schuytema199312">{{cite magazine | url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1993&pub=2&id=113 | title=In Search Of...
