SkyRoads
« on: April 17, 2011, 08:14:42 pm »
In 1993, BlueMoon Interactive developed a fun, challenging game called SkyRoads.  The object of the game is to get to the end of the level without crashing into a block or drifting into endless space.



This program is made for DOS, and the full version is available as freeware on their site:

This was the first video game I ever played, and I still find it enjoyable to play.  I just want to know if anybody here has played SkyRoads.  :)

I've played it, and it's an amazing game!  Especially the backgrounds.

However, the Christmas special edition is SO HARD

One of my favorite things about this game is the music.  There are only a few games that have outstanding original music.
Also, the graphics are pretty good (for the hardware at the time).

It reminds me something actually, but I don't know what. I swear someone had a Skyroad project for calc before but it was unrelated. It looks cool, though.

One could actually make this project for calculator, incidentally, in a top-down mode.

My least favorite part of the game was accidentally jumping too late--if you nick the top edge of a tunnel in an attempt to jump on top of the tunnel, you blow up, even at slow speed.

There is a skyroads clone for the Casio Algebra FX series.

Just out of curiocity, I tried to disassemble the program.  Unfortunately, the disassembler only gave me the initialization code and turned the rest into db.

O.O This looks nice. I wish it could be ported to the Prizm or something.
