About this game

Gulf Strike is a turn-based strategy game based on the popular board game of the same name. It focuses on the complex Persian Gulf region, giving players access to air, land, and sea orders of battle for more than a dozen nations.

Designed for one or two players, each game typically takes one to five hours. Play can end after 25 turns, when the Soviet/Iraqi side earns 9 victory points, or when the players choose to stop. Avalon Hill rated the game 7 out of 10 for complexity.

Platforms: Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and DOS.
