Today is Throwback Thursday, and I want to dedicate this #TBT to a game that defined an era and allowed us to fulfill one of the most epic dreams of any fantasy lover: riding a dragon. I’m talking about Dragon Strike, a title that debuted in 1990 from Strategic Simulations Inc., set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe.
Hoy es jueves de recuerdos, y quiero dedicar este #TBT a un juego que marcó una época y nos permitió cumplir uno de los sueños más épicos de cualquier amante de la fantasía: montar un dragón. Estoy hablando de Dragon Strike, un título que debutó en 1990 de la mano de Strategic Simulations Inc., ambientado en el universo de Dungeons & Dragons.
Talking about Dragon Strike is like traveling back to a time when graphics were simple, but the experiences were massive. With this game, many of us discovered what it was like to soar through the skies, face enemy dragons, and live an epic fantasy that we still remember with nostalgia today.
Hablar de Dragon Strike es viajar a un tiempo donde los gráficos eran simples, pero las experiencias eran enormes. Con este juego, muchos de nosotros descubrimos lo que era volar sobre los cielos, enfrentarnos a dragones enemigos y vivir una fantasía épica que aún hoy recordamos con nostalgia.
In Dragon Strike, we took control of a knight soaring through the skies on a dragon, facing hordes of enemies in aerial battles filled with strategy and excitement. From wyverns to giant dragons, every encounter pushed us to master the art of flight and magical attacks.
En Dragon Strike, tomábamos el control de un caballero que surcaba los cielos montado en un dragón, enfrentando hordas de enemigos en combates aéreos llenos de estrategia y emoción. Desde wyverns hasta dragones gigantes, cada encuentro nos obligaba a dominar el arte del vuelo y los ataques mágicos.
The detail that made this game unique was its 3D flight perspective, an innovative feature for its time. While the graphics were simple, the sense of immersion was remarkable, and the soundtrack fully transported us to the world of Krynn, where the story unfolded.
El detalle que hacía único a este juego era la perspectiva de vuelo en 3D, algo innovador para la época. Aunque los gráficos eran sencillos, la sensación de inmersión era sorprendente, y la banda sonora lograba transportarnos por completo al mundo de Krynn, donde se desarrollaba la historia.
The game offered a variety of missions, from escorting allies to destroying enemy fortresses. I particularly remember a mission where you faced a giant red dragon. The adrenaline of dodging its attacks and timing the perfect moment to strike made it truly unforgettable.
El juego ofrecía una variedad de misiones, desde escoltar aliados hasta destruir fortalezas enemigas. Recuerdo especialmente una misión donde enfrentabas a un dragón rojo gigante. La adrenalina de esquivar sus ataques y planear el momento perfecto para atacar lo hacía inolvidable.
Dragon Strike is a game that, although it belongs to a bygone era, remains special to those of us who enjoyed it. It represents a time when imagination and creativity played a bigger role than cutting-edge graphics.
Dragon Strike es un juego que, aunque pertenece a una era pasada, sigue siendo especial para quienes lo disfrutamos. Representa un tiempo donde la imaginación y la creatividad jugaban un papel más importante que los gráficos de última generación.

This is what I call old school. I remember when I had my Nintendo NES, I also had with me a “1000 games in 1 cartridge”. There was “Dragon Strike”, honestly it was not my first choice, but it was one of those games that I used as a warm up to start my day of full vice. Your content about “Dragon Strike” has brought me very good memories.
It's awesome to read this! Those 1000 games in 1 cartridges were definitely a treasure for discovering unique titles. Even though it wasn’t your first choice, it clearly left its mark by accompanying you during those days of pure fun and gaming, haha. Thanks for sharing your memory!
