AH-3: ThunderStrike — About this game
Known as AH-3 Thunderstrike in North America, this Sega CD helicopter game puts mission objectives ahead of simply clearing every enemy. Choose a campaign, read the briefing and attack assigned targets while managing weapons and altitude. Machine guns, rockets and missiles serve different situations. Hovering, turning and target selection help line up attacks without blindly flying into hostile fire.
