Airstrike is a horizontally scrolling shooter written by Steven A. Riding for Atari 8-bit computers.[2] Having strong similarities to Konami's 1981 Scramble arcade game,[3][4] it was published in 1982 as the first release from UK-based English Software. In Airstrike, the player flies through caverns while shooting and bombing targets, avoiding terrain, and managing fuel and ammunition. The company described the game as "Very, very, difficult!" in magazine advertisements,[5] and reviewers agreed with that assessment.
Airstrike was followed by Airstrike II, also programmed by Riding, in 1983.[6]
