Sky Runner

Sky Runner is a game for the PC and Commodore 64. It used CGA graphics and was made by Cascade. The game is played from the 3rd person perspective with a 3D view similar to Space Harrier. Gameplay involved controlling an aircraft calleda skimmer to shoot down enemy towers. After destroying enough, the skimmer would drop down a skybike, which the player would use to destroy other enemy skybikers, while avoiding obstacles like trees. After destroying enough enemies, a boss character called a harvester would appear, which the player would have to defeat. Upon defeating the harvester the game awards the player with money, and loops back to the player controlling the skimmer. Like many other dos era games, the game would loop forever until the player lost, making the high score the primary goal.
