Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf

Online version of Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf for PC DOS. Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf is a 1992 action game and the first part of the Strike series by Electronic Arts. The player sits in an AH-64A Apache gunship and flies over a desert emirate seized by a self-styled general named Kilbaba, seen from an isometric view. Besides shooting there is fuel and ammunition to watch, supplies scattered across the map to pick up, and rescued soldiers to carry back to the cruiser. The Mega Drive version came first, followed by the SNES, the Amiga, the Atari Lynx and the PC, which Gremlin Interactive published in 1994. The series went on with Jungle Strike, Urban Strike, Soviet Strike and Nuclear Strike.

IBM PC with MS-DOS

Online emulated version of Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf was originally developed for the IBM PC and compatible computers, with MS DOS - Microsoft Disk Operating System. It is an OS for x86-based personal computers mostly developed by Microsoft and released in 1981 as PC DOS 1.0.
MS-DOS was targeted at Intel 8086 processors running on computer hardware using floppy disks to store and access not only the operating system, but application software and user data as well. Progressive version releases delivered support for other mass storage media in ever greater sizes and formats, along with added feature support for newer processors and rapidly evolving computer architectures. Ultimately, it was the key product in Microsoft's development from a programming language company to a diverse software development firm, providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources. It was also the underlying basic operating system on which early versions of Windows ran as a GUI.
