I have Sky Shadow, and I like it. The colors are well used, better I think
than in Crystal Quest. The sounds are good, as one would expect. I would
recommend it.

However, the game can be quite nasty. If you accidently bomb a friendly area,
you lose all the points you gained with that ship. I can't tell you how many
times I have lost millions of points because of one stray bomb.

I was unable to get to to run on a IIfx. I also was unable to get it to run on
a IIci running A/UX 2.0, but I don't know whether it was A/UX or the IIci
causing problems.
