Summary: 


I've just bought yesterday the new game from Electronic Arts called
SKYFOX, it's really an impressive game.

First of all it's a combat simulation where you have to save your base from
the enemies who want to destroy your base. You have 15 scenarios (ranging from
training mission to massive onslaught) and 5 skill levels ( from cadet to 
Ace of the Base ).

The animation on the machine is fantastic and very, very fast. The colors are 
great, the sound track is good ( you have music in the beginning and after 
that sound effects ) .

You start by choosing a scenario and a level, and you are on your way.
The first 7 scenarios are training ones and the other ones are actual attacks.

The game has the following features:
	Auto pilot to the enemies
	Help with your fight
	Radar view
		View from above
		View forward
	Guided missiles
	Heat seeking missiles

You can go up to 3000 MPH which is very,very fast. An example: as cadet
on the tank training 1 ( lowest level ) you go up to 200 MPH and it's very fast

Tanks will shoot you from below and planes from above, but you will only fight
one of the two because the tanks are on the ground ( of course ) and the planes
fly between 30 000 and 40 000 feet in the air . So you have to use your
afterburners to get you up there.

You have five skyfoxes ( lives ) but you can abort the game at any time.

Your onboard computer is really nice but hard to use in the beginning, 
( I've only had it for 1 day ) but is really helpful.

All in all the graphic are excellent and reasonably priced: $39,95 CDN
for the commodore 64 version, I think the apple version is the same.
which is a very good price. I highly recommend it to all gamers because
even though I don't really like arcade games, I love this one.
