Vs. Super SkyKid
Namco • 1985


Namco’s Vs. Super SkyKid, released in 1985, puts two players in control of nimble aircraft navigating a vibrant, horizontally scrolling world. As SkyKids, players maneuver their planes through increasingly challenging levels filled with enemy fighters and obstacles, aiming to destroy them while avoiding damage. The game features straightforward controls using an eight-way joystick and two buttons, allowing for responsive movement and firing. This installment in the Sky Kid series builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, offering a cooperative experience for up to two players as they work together to overcome hazards. The visual presentation utilizes a palette of 64 colors within a resolution of 256x240 pixels, creating a bright and engaging environment. It was licensed to Nintendo, marking an important relationship between the companies. Vs. Super SkyKid is part of a trilogy that began with Sky Kid, followed by Sky Kid Deluxe, and concluded with this entry. The game's technical specifications include a Zetex N2A03 processor handling both graphics and sound.
