Description
Crimson Skies is an arcade flight simulator, which plays in an alternate reality. Based on a FASA pen-and-paper game, you play the part of a daring rogue who flys missions for fame and fortune in an alternate reality 1937. The planes look like a mixture of futuristic planes and planes from WW2.
The single player missions are very various, as you have to complete jobs like finding a treasure, hijacking an experimental plane from the enemy or defend your homebase, which is a huge zeppelin. If you're done with the single-player-part you also will enjoy the multiplayer dogfights.

Trivia
During installation of the game you are treated to a radio play featuring Nathan Zachery (your player) and the Fortune Hunters. It's very fun to listen to and full of action. My only complaint is that on faster machines, the installation finishes before the radio play does... and cuts the drama short!
