Most Midway games from the early 90's ended up doing pretty well, but Strikeforce (StrikeForce? Strike Force?) feels like it slipped through the cracks a little. Weirdly it's never showed up on any of the home Midway compilations either. As an updated Defender it's got a lot of stuff going on... maybe too much stuff, and it's not always easy to pick apart what is happening on screen.
Yes, I'm aware that recently in MAME a prototype called Saurian Front was also dumped and added. I did not play it here because I don't think I would be able to pick apart all the differences.

Made a highlight out of this because this game is harder than it looks, and I was so happy to finally get the clear. Clearing Omega area gives you an ending and then every area after that is called Infinity.... but I stopped caring once I reached Infinity and died soon after. Ah well!")
