Apache Strike is a port of Macintosh release of this helicopter simulator.
The story of this game is placed at the back of the box art. The year is 1997, and the new World War is beginning. You are a pilot of AH-64 Apache helicopter through streets of enemy tanks and helicopters (in the cut scenes, some real towns like Novgorod or Orlov are mentioned[1], and the russian ordotox church is speering on the box - it seems to be the caricature war between USSR and USA). You must defeat your enemy and your target, the Strategic Defense Computer (SDC), with your guns and rockets, to save the world from nuclear destruction.
The rest of this game is lacking of gameplay. It's boring and hard, and the only track of this game is modified version of Vultan's Theme by Queen, taken without any permission from musical band, and it's badly utilized on PC Speaker. But the true 3D engine, which is better than in C64 and MAC releases, make this game really advanced than the most game of this time.

Screenshots
The game supports different display adapters - 4 colors of CGA, Tandy 16 colors, 16 colors of EGA and even 256 colors of VGA/MCGA. Tandy and EGA pictures are the same.
The screens below were taken in MCGA/VGA mode.
Music
The game contains only one track - modified version of Vultan's Theme by Queen. The song sounds very similar to the Airwolf theme. This song is repeation on the menu. The music is more robust than in Commodore and Macintosh releases.
Like other versions, other main events in game (like level backgrounds, game over or highscore board) lack music.
