- 9erdelta 11y agoOh my god what have you done posting this...There's still work to get done this week.
- yeukhon 11y ago"Oh my god" is exactly what I whispered to myself when the game started. "Oh my god." My childhood.
- felipemaciel 11y agoSkyroads was the best game from my childhood.
- ultramancool 11y agoI was just reading more about the Estonian developers of it there, BlueMoon Interactive. They also created the FastTrack P2P protocol and wrote Skype. Pretty impressive group there.
- jkaljundi 11y agoThe latest project from one of them: https://www.starship.xyz/ https://www.starship.xyz/
- chm 11y agoIt's relatively unplayable on IceWeasel 38.6.1 (Debian). The graphics are flashing on and off.
- rudePolice 11y agosame
- scuba7183 11y agoSame on Firefox 44.0.2 on Win7
- viraptor 11y agosame version of FF on win8.1 has no issues
- eCa 11y agoSame FF version on win8.1: My car goes full throttle + full turn to the right. Have not yet managed to jump straight (and I can only play Druidia, Road 3). It works on Chrome on the same computer. Update: Well, it worked once on Chrome. The next time around the car constantly jumps. Easier to control than full throttle, but not by much.
- detaro 11y agoSame on my Windows 7, Firefox and Chrome. Strange that it seems to happen on all kinds of setups.
- fungi 11y agoFirefox 46.0a2 (2016-03-02) on Arch Linux, Intel Graphics. Runs very well.
- adamb0mb1 11y agoWelp, there goes my afternoon.
- agumonkey 11y agoReminds me of the HP48 game Babal.
- skocznymroczny 11y agoAhh. In the original game I can finish all levels except for Druidia 2 and 3.
- brillenfux 11y agoJust for the soundtrack alone :D
- rockydoc 11y agoThe music is feckin class!
- ultramancool 11y agoI think this would make for a great mobile game - not sure if the devs have considered supporting mobile platforms for it, but I can't seem to find anything approaching a good clone on the play store.
- blablablame 11y agoThis is a clone of an old game SkyRoads. (sure I guess new artwork could be done and levels changed and re release ti)
- viraptor 11y agoI feel these days Distance is a good spiritual successor to Skyroads. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mDVxz732rk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mDVxz732rk for trailer) Not on mobile, but maybe one day.
- ultramancool 11y agoThat does look pretty cool, but sort of loses the feel. http://www.tastystatic.com/ http://www.tastystatic.com/ is a more faithful clone, but also not on mobile.
- flipcoder 11y agoI recently wrote a small skyroads-inspired game: video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vni52_CKeUg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vni52_CKeUg repo: https://github.com/flipcoder/bouncingship https://github.com/flipcoder/bouncingship I'm considering porting it to mobile.
- rhodin 11y agoI wonder if it would be possible to get the levels from BlueMoon's first game "Kosmonaut" to run in OpenRoads.
- NovaS1X 11y agoThere goes the rest of my day.
- nitwit005 11y agoThat perspective is quite hard on my eyes for some reason.
- gravitronic 11y agoWhile in university a friend and I dumped the original sky roads levels by dumping the dosbox heap while the game was loaded and reverse engineering the memory map. If i remember correctly we emailed the original devs (who are awesome) and they gave permission for rerelease for the open source remake available at the time.
- tuyguntn 11y agoAwesome, thanks for game, but I see too much blinking on my Ubuntu 15.04 desktop (firefox 37)
- journeeman 11y agoThis just brought back so many memories! Thank you! :-)
- yason 11y agoA bit of gaming history: this is apparently a clone of a game called SkyRoads which Wikipedia claims to be a clone of "Kosmonauts", but that is obviously a clone of a hypnotic space-themed game Trailblazer from the 80's. See here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EXsxd8O7eU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EXsxd8O7eU for C64. Thus, the question arises: does anyone know if Trailblazer itself is a clone of some other game?
