Think you have hand eye coordination? Think you've got what it takes? This outer space driving adventure may make you think otherwise! Sky roads pack one of the most grueling tests of skill (and patience!) into 600k of high speed galactic highway madness!
This is basically one of my favorite as well as most FRUSTRATING (in a good way ^_^) games I've ever had the pleasure of killing my wrist muscles over. Great presentation and well thought out courses make this game a must for any car, racing, space enthusiast or red blooded gamer for that matter!
Essentially you find yourself on the outer space racing circuit, where it's not how fast you finish but if you can make it to the finish line in one piece! Bobbing and weaving through tunnels, avoiding traps, and hopping the gaps that lead to endless oblivion will keep you at this game for hours on end! Simplicity at its best: Up, Down, Left, Right and Jump are your only weapons to try and negotiate the treacherous (and numerous I might add) tracks that lay in your path.

Simplicity at its best: Up, Down, Left, Right and Jump are your only weapons to try and negotiate the treacherous (and numerous I might add) tracks that lay in your path. You're also restricted by your fuel level and your oxygen level, "so slow and stead wins the race" is out of the question, this one's fast paced, and there's nothing you can do about it!
The graphics are very colorful as well as detailed when it comes to the backgrounds of the various stages, the sound effects are realistic, the menu's and presentation are excellent, and the option of playing using a joystick (my weapon of choice) leave little to complain about. The option of using the gravis game pad is also available as well as the default control option of the keyboard.
All in all, this game in my book definitely earns the moniker "classic" as it was a very innovative and intriguing concept whose presentation was top notch. The boys at Blue moon Interactive definitely pulled out all the stops on this one! While this game is a poster boy for simplicity, it is a much better poster boy for “difficult to beat” as it had me hooked and determined to conquer it for ages! So if you're looking for a challenge or think you're a real hotshot when it comes to gaming skill and co-ordination, I think BTO said it best when they said "you haven’t seen anything yet"!
