 "Desert Strike Advance" is a port of the original game for Game Boy Advance by Budcat Creations, LLC.Commentators have felt the game was an attempt to capitalize on then-recent, extensive news coverage of the Gulf War, which had focused on the use of advanced, impersonal weapons (such as aircraft and guided missiles) to destroy enemy weapons and installations.Some commentators considered the game's subject matter in bad taste, with one magazine reporting an incident of veterans burning copies of the game.
