About
Super Strike Eagle is a 1993 combat flight simulation video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was later released in Japan as F-15 Super Strike Eagle (F-15スーパーストライクイーグル, F-15 Sūpā Sutoraiku Īguru).
The game involves flying airplanes that tests the player's Sidewinder missile and machine gun firing skills against various non-aligned nations that were historically notorious for housing extremist leaders during the Cold War. The game was released in North America, Europe, and Japan approximately simultaneously. In the Japanese version, real political flags are not used unlike the North American version.

Gameplay
The main character in the game is a pilot flying for the United Nations whose sole objective is to bring various governments around the world back into cooperation with the UN. Each time a military campaign against a certain regime is completed, the flag of the nation in question is again raised at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Libya, Iraq, Cuba, and North Korea offer Soviet-manufactured aircraft like the MiG-27 and the MiG-29 for the player to in order to advance the war effort.
There are various types of targets in the game, including air, land and water targets in an environment that gives players permission to freely roam around the battlefield, limited only by the player's fuel supply. Land targets include nuclear power plants (but often include anti-air weapons and tanks); the player may suffer from radiation sickness after destroying nuclear plants from too close a distance. Radiation sickness must be healed using one of the player's limited sorties or it will become fatal. Weapons in the game include guns, missiles, electronic jammers, and bombs.
Reception
Nintendo Power gave the game a rating of 3.45 out of 5 in their March 1993 issue of their magazine. Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game a score of 65%.
