What is Sky Fox?

Sky Fox is an arcade classic released in 1982 by Namco, famous for its fast paced action and peculiar gameplay. The player maneuvers the space ship Sky Fox into waves of enemy aircraft, shooting down and dodging attacks. The great controls, challenges, levels, and power-up known as "Fox's Speed" that increased your speed and firepower for a short time were all noteworthy aspects of the game. It is one of the true arcade gems requiring both reflexes and logic.

Instructions on How to Play

The Sky Fox spaceship is controlled in the game by moving the joystick or pressing the cursor keys. Your main objective in this arcade game: to shoot all the enemy planes found on screen.

The game ends when your ship is destroyed or all of the levels complete.
