If you've played Airstrike or its (rather obvious) inspiration Scramble, then you've more-or-less played Airstrike II.

Not to be confused with AirStrike 3D II. Or AirStrike II: Gulf Thunder.

Hidden Message

Version Differences

Two versions of Airstrike II exist; a 16K version and a larger 32K version.

The 32K version adds a minimap where the "AIRSTRIKE II 16K" text was, as well as more terrain throughout the game. However, it lacks the aforementioned hidden message.
