The two behind Team Codetactics have released their cross-platform (for Linux, Mac, PSP — Windows coming soon, maybe?) tribute to the ageless EA Strike series; namely Desert & Jungle Strike for the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis. Apollonia is no doubt a stroke of homebrew excellence, so be sure to download and check it out — Apollonia won’t disappoint.

 

Apollonia (this game’s working title) means “Destroyer”, the feminine version of the Greek name Apollo. It seemed an appropriate name for an AH-64 helicopter and it also seemed like an original name until we found out that Apollonia Vitelli-Corleone was a character in the famous Godfather movie.

This game is essentially a tribute to the old Desert/Jungle Strike games for the Sega Mega Drive and PC (see wikipedia). Apollonia was made specifically for the PSP, as it seems a worthy platform to give these games justice. (I could never get Jungle Strike running under emulation on PSP, so we made our own).
