Godzilla: Monsters Attack on the Game Gear was only ever released in Japan (as “Gojira: Kaijuu Daishingeki“) in 1995, but a fan translation thankfully makes the game playable to non Japanese speakers. Surprisingly, this is a turn-based strategy game, and not an action game or a beat ’em up.

Jungle Strike, Game Gear
The second game in the “Strike Series“, Jungle Strike on the Game Gear is more of the same isometric scrolling action in a helicopter. This time there are five missions to undertake, in various different environments.
Desert Strike, Game Gear
The Game Gear version of EA‘s classic helicopter action game, Desert Strike: Return To The Gulf, is excellent. It reproduces the tense gameplay of the original very well, and manages to pack-in quite a lot to do, over the span of four missions.
U.N. Squadron, Super Nintendo
Capcom was one of the early masters of the Super Nintendo, releasing many great titles for it. This conversion of their arcade hit, U.N. Squadron, being one of them. It was first released in 1991.

Call of Duty 2, PC
Infinity Ward and Activision‘s sequel to Call of Duty – Call of Duty 2 – was where I sat up and really started to take notice of the series. That was because the game opens with you playing a soldier from the Russian perspective, rather than American, which I thought was a bold decision. Also: in this game you can actually choose which of the three campaigns to play from the main menu (although you do have to unlock them), which wasn’t the case in Call of Duty or United Offensive.
