Skyfox

The Good
Extremely fast action for its time with bitmap simulated 3D, play against both ground and air targets, and mothership killing, simple to play

The Bad
Action gets repetitive, you're but one plane and you need to defend against both ground and air threats (not to mention motherships), scenarios are just variations on the same theme.

The Bottom Line
Sky Fox is a first-person shooter where you pilot a gunship similar to Bang! Gunship Elite, where you basically fly really fast and shoot enemy planes or tanks. Either you fly high in the sky (above the clouds) and shoot planes and motherships, or go down to ground level and shoot tanks. You have shields and missiles, but both are limited.

The mothership(s) periodically release new tanks and planes, so you must kill motherships to stop them overall, while prevent your base from being overwhelmed by the existing planes and tanks. It's a fine balance between attack and defense.

The graphics were amazingly fast for its time (remember, this is on an Apple II). and the bitmapped planes and tanks look better than most contemporary games.

The different scenarios provide different challenges like all-air, all-ground, mothership killing spree, and such.

It's fun for its time.

The Good
OOOH MAN do I remember THIS game! WOW! It had the best cutting edge graphics of its time. The first person view from the cockpit was too realistic and AMAZING! I also enjoyed how you can fly in the high atmosphere and get attacked by hordes of enemy fighters. Then you can fly below the clouds and get attacked by armies of eney tanks. The AI was extreemly realistic, and intelligent.... for its time, and even for current present time!! Enemy planes would follow you, loop around you for another straffing run. Your radar would show missiles coming at you.

The Bad
There really was not tooo much to do heheh. Just fly around, and kill or be killed, while enjoying the stunning cutting edge graphics.

The Bottom Line
One of the greatest, most classic, flight and fighter sims, and perhaps the first one with a first person view out of the cockpit. The graphics during its time were cutting edge and amazing. Anyone who likes flight sims, and fighter sims, will love this game.... even now!
