"AIM RIGHT. FLY TIGHT. THE SKIES ARE NOT FRIENDLY TONIGHT."

The enhanced edition of Toaplan's 1987 vertical shooter Flying Shark (AKA Sky Shark) includes online leaderboards, a beginner mode, CRT filters, and much more! Despite its simplicity, Flying Shark requires strategy and guts thanks to an innovative feature: OFF-SCREEN ACTION! By flying left and right, you can expand your field of vision beyond the screen borders and reveal hidden threats!

"We are at war's end, and the enemy has taken control of most of our military bases. Only one man can restore our flagging fortunes and bring us back to glory... The legendary FLYING SHARK!"

Fantastic port of an Arcade STG Classic

This port is amazing, the only 2 flaws I have an issue with is I wish it had complete autofire where you don't even have to hold down the fire button, but the autofire is still really good The only other flaw kind of is you can't play completely powered up from the get go, they could have disabled the achievement while that option was selected, but again it's a minor flaw Overall it's a port very well worth the 8 dollars they are asking for and I give it a very easy recommendation
