This PlayStation version of EA's Nuclear Strike came out in 1997, and THQ's N64 version came out in 1999. Somewhere in between, a sequel, Future Strike, was in development by EA for the PlayStation. The game would have continued the long-running Strike action game series, only it was canceled before the N64 version game even shipped.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Electronic Arts told us back in January of 1998 that the game

formerly known as Future Strike (mentioned at the end of the last Strike title, Nuclear Strike) would no longer be part of the company's Strike line.

The reason? EA decided that it should not be constrained by the theme of the series. "Now, there's no ceiling to what they can do," a representative commented at that time. And what the company did was develop a game called LAPD 2100, which then became Future Cop: LAPD, also for the PlayStation. The action game shipped in August of 1998 and turned out fairly well.
