!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Here's hoping:
It was in the 90s. Top down, you could be either an Apache gunship or a tank for each mission.
Jungle Strike https://www.mobygames.com/game/792/jungle-strike/
I really enjoyed this on GameGear. My brother had it and I remember it being hard, but fair. We did pretty well.
Might be this. I'll download and play. Though I seem to remember it was in the desert...
I don't think it's jungle strike. Do you remember if it was sprite based or vector?
Sprite based maybe? It was something like thirty years ago so we're reaching back. I can confirm that it was on PC and I THINK it was on Windows 95.
Either way, Jungle Strike is the sequel (prequel?) to Desert Strike. Desert Strike definitely has a lot of desert, as you have described.
SWIV?
