------------------------------------------
This is one of those games that I really shouldn't like, since it relies heavily on memorization and split-second reactions to the area around you. Surprisingly though, I find it enjoyable in its simplicity and you don't have to do extreme amounts of memorization until the very late stages.
It's freeware now too and that's always a plus! :)
------------------------------------------
Additional Information and Corrections:
* If you wish to obtain the full version of this game, follow this link: www.bluemoon.ee...
* This game is actually a sequel to an earlier game made by the same company called "Kosmonaut", but I chose to do this game first because it was the one I first played as a child and holds a much higher nostalgia value for me... plus I really needed to review a game with some music in it. ;)
* The game also has mouse controls but... the less said about them, the better. :|
* There's actually a modern remake of this game called "Tasty Static" with vector-shape graphics. I haven't played it yet but I felt I should mention it all the same. Here's a link to it: www.tastystatic...
* A modern port recently was pointed out to me which plays almost exactly like the original game, but in one's web browser and with high-resolution rendering of the roads. You can find it here: www.openroadsga...

Interesting fact. Skyroad was made by people who later went to create p2p file sharing software Kazaa and VOIP soft Skype.

Ah, Skyroads, one of the old favorites of mine. I actually played both the original game and a handful of clones of the game as well, although the clone I liked best seems to have been lost to time. Since nobody seems to have mentioned it, the Jump-O-Master doesn't actually tell you when you can jump, it's actually an anti-frustration feature - if the game sees that your jump would BARELY miss the next non-burning block, it will adjust your speed just enough to land and get a jump in instead of going right between two platforms. This actually happens in the set of jumps starting at about 6:23 in the video and a couple more times in the same run.

The jump-o-master is not an indicator to the ability to jump. It's a helper device that takes over your ship's speed while jumping to save you from crashing or falling on top of red tiles. It is usually idle until it kicks in and the indicator switches to In-Use, meaning it's saving your as* from a bad jump you made 🙂 It's usually evident when driving too fast and the tile you're gonna jump onto is too close, so the jump-o-master will slow you down mid-air. You can't win Skyroads without this neat device.

Love this game, always have. I have had it on my computer since the '90s. What loved about it was the surreal aspect of it combined with the music, the music especially, there's just something about it.

remember on my old school around 2002-03, in the computer lab during recess, we would be playing this game all the time on the semi-old computers they had. As well as the shareware version of Doom, Wolfenstein, Prince of Persia and Foodman. Good times.

This was one of my favourite games when I was a pre-schooler, next to Bumpy's Arcade Fantasy and Night Raid. BTW, will these appear as ADG episodes? They worth a review.

Love this game, played it for the first time in fall or winter 18 or 19 years ago. In my opinion it was very challenging, if you got further it became harder and as a kid that was challenging, even my sister liked this game then :) The music was also very good in this game, sometimes I played it just for the music. I even downloaded the music from their website just to listen it in my car. I hope they will make a remake of this game with HD graphics and high quality audio and a map editor so you can make your own roads.

It's been 15 years (or even longer) since I've played this game for the first time, and I still can't beat all those stages... The Earth tracks and Druidia tracks are just evil. The music are gorgeous, I even made a remix for Road3. But I do prefer FM version over the Oktalyzer version on the original game music, maybe it's just the sake of nostalgia lol
@wardrich
@wardrich 4 года назад
Cool tidbit about the music! I see what you mean about not knowing which one is better... the MIDI synth is fuller, but the Oktalyzer drums are more pronounced...

Games like Trailblazer (1986) on the 8-bit systems, and its sequel Cosmic Causeway (also on the Atari ST), have a similar viewpoint and play style, except you are a bouncing ball. Both are basically 3D versions of Bounder (also 1986).

If EGA colors are too harsh for you then you didn't work/play on ZX Spectrum. Also: if i'm not mistaken this genre of games is called "runner".

On Blue Moon's website, click through to the main index from the logo, then click on "History". Each game on this page has an in-text link to a page dedicated to it. ;)

Pixelmusement How do you get the game to have its PC speaker noises on? I remember how they sounded like. Just...how do you get them running on DOSBOX?
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement 2 года назад
For this game, I don't recall at the moment, but often times games do auto-detection of sound devices so one way to force a switch from a more advanced sound device to PC Speaker is to just go into the DOSBox config file and set the sbtype to "none". :B
