Steel Talons for the Atari Lynx is a 1992 simulation game that puts players in control of an attack helicopter. The main objective revolves around completing a variety of combat missions, including destroying enemy targets and providing air support, all while managing the helicopter’s systems and fuel.
The game features a moderately paced gameplay, balancing strategic decision-making with real-time action. A unique mechanic in Steel Talons is the detailed cockpit view, which allows players to interact with various controls, simulating a realistic helicopter piloting experience on a handheld platform. This level of simulation is notable given the technical constraints of the Lynx.
Distinctive elements include dynamic mission objectives and a radar system that aids navigation and target acquisition. The combination of simulation depth with portable gaming makes Steel Talons a notable title within the Atari Lynx library and the 1992 simulation genre.
