Title: Strike Force Harrier Demo
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 09:57, 01 April 21

Demo of the Strike Force Harrier game released in 1986 by Mirrorsoft.
Possibly this was given as a freebie with other Mirrorsoft games as a taster?
Demo loops at 2:53.

I played it once or twice but the "copy" I had didn't have any instructions (cough, cough ??? ) so unfortunately I can't say I'm really that familiar with it. Maybe someone else here can comment?

Ah what was the one where you were flying a Mosquito and had bombing runs and dogfights etc?

Har Har, maybe you've played too many CPC games @Gryzor (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1) and are beginning to jumble them up in memory?

No - well at least I remember that one pretty well, Ace of Aces. Never got really good at it but I really liked it!

I played one a few times that always ended in a crash with the cockpit glass cracking down the middle (thought that was a great effect) but can't remember what it was - Spitfire 40?
