You are armed with a cannon, AMRAAM long-range air-to-air missile, Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missile, and the Maverick air-to-ground missile.
F-15 Strike Eagle II is an F-15E Strike Eagle combat flight simulator released in 1989 by MicroProse and is the sequel of F-15 Strike Eagle. It was followed in 1992 by F-15 Strike Eagle III, the final game of the series.
The fighter is equipped with a M61 Vulcan and three different kinds of missiles, Sidewinders, AMRAAMs and Mavericks. F-15 Strike Eagle II comes with four scenarios: Libya, Persian Gulf, Vietnam and Middle East. In a mission the player has to fight a variety of enemy aircraft, missile boats, satellite stations and other ground targets, to take out one primary and one secondary target, making sure to not attack friendly targets. Promotions and medals are based on the mission score.
The game was reviewed positively in Computer Gaming World. The review described it as "a gamer's game", emphasizing the game aspects over the simulation, and notably less complicated than F-19 Stealth Fighter. 1992 and 1994 surveys in the magazine of wargames with modern settings gave the game three and a half stars out of five.
