Gameplay

Jetstrike is a side scrolling shooter, similar in feel to Defender from the early 1980s and Wings of Fury from the late 1980s with the wrap around screen

Wraparound (Video Games)

Wraparound, in video games, is a gameplay variation on the single-screen in which space is finite but unbounded; objects leaving one side of the screen immediately reappear on the opposite side, maintaining speed and trajectory...

and left-to-right-to-left turning across the landscape. Jetstrike added a "sim" feel to this with about 200 aircraft to choose from each with a slightly different feel and almost as many weapons with which to shoot down aircraft or blow up ground based enemies.
