I just bought DragonStrike. For those that don't know, DS is a Dragon
combat/flight simutator. Instead of flying a jet, you fly a dragon. and
fight other dragons. 

My impression of the game so far (I only played it a few times so far) is
good. It's a bit slow, but the concept is really neat. One problem I found
is that it is supposed to have background music (toggled on and off by control
M) but it doesn't seem to work. But it maybe because I only have 512k.

You can select the amount of landscape detail to be displayed (the more detail
the slower the game). 


The BEST thing about DragonStrike is that it works on all Amiga's and
it is hard drive installable. NO DISK BASED PROTECTION!! Just look up
a word in the manual protection. Although it is a pain, it's better than
disk based protection.

Ratings (from 1 to 10. 10=perfection)

Playability: 8
Speed: 4 (on an Amiga 1000. The manual says its faster on faster amigas)
Protection scheme: 6
