Red Lightning is a wargame created by Norm Koger and published by Strategic Simulations for the Atari ST and MS-DOS in 1989. An Amiga conversion followed a year later. The game is set in Europe and hypothesizes a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.

Illustrator Marc Ericksen created the Box Art for Red Lightning, which features Soviet T-80 tanks advancing under heavy weather with Mig-29s flying air cover.
