When the islands first rose from the planet's surface, we were terrified. Some called it the end of times. Others sought to arm themselves against some invisible threat. Years have passed since that amazing time, and we have grown accustomed to these floating giants above our heads; many of us have even made our homes upon their soil. But time is always changing that which we take for granted. The world is picking up speed again, and changes are once again coming to our small world. Skykick is a full 3d strategy game, with players maneuvering small numbers of aircraft via intuitive flight path controls, with the aim of course being to shoot down their opponent. Ships range in scale from small, single person fighters, to multi-hundred foot long cruisers and battleships.
Unfortunately only a few of these aircraft were ever produced. While they had excellent flying qualities, they were too complicated to produce at a low enough cost to justify the line. Nevertheless, pilots who acquired them say that they are a delight to fly, and a few have been armed and used by all members of society, from police to pirates. (The unarmed version is shown here.)
