It was released in Europe as Flying Shark, and in USA as Sky Shark,
only on C64 they are 2 different games - conversions from arcade.

Booper The game looks (and plays) much better on the NES port if you can manage to get a hold of it. Was one of my favorites when I was younger.

Master MC This game is pretty lame. Just a remake of those classic space invader thingies. Fun though, shooting tanks and suicide planes with the same ammunition.

Mmm... this seems to be hard to get to run in DosBOX. The DosBOX site claims it was allready supported in version 0.62 however. I was unable to get it to run there unfortunately. I didn't fiddle with any settings yet, but if someone manages to get it to run in DB, please let us know k:
You could always ask Qbix, over at AR.

Anyway, it looks like a cute little game, that I could probably spend an hour or two with, even if GameBringer didn't really like it. [/b][/quote]
I always asked myself why he is giving dosbox support on AR and not on abandonia :blink:

Wouldn´t it be much better too give support for this one on dos related sites...?

By the way: sky shark looks great. Never heard of it though...

efthimios I just played the DOS version. Oh my, it is crap. 2/5 is too good for this, 1.5 more likely.
Seriously, try the Amstrad CPC version or the ST version, MUCH MUCH better.

Gunner4Eva Wow! I remember this game from a long time ago. Although I remember it being called 'SkyShark'.

Unforunately for me, its a drastic case of you've played one you've played them all. Not a fan of these kind of games.

efthimios Good, at least I am not crazy.

It is a very good top down shoot em up of the days old (or something).
It is not exactly easy game, but it is fair. I haven't played the DOS version but the Amstrad CPC 6128 version and the Atari ST were first class. The graphics very detailed, loved how you could destroy the turret off a tank but the tank still survive, the boss battles were fun, especialy against the ships, and the whole game is a class above most of the similar games of the period.
I give it a 4 easily (out of 5).
