Captain SkyHawk — About this game
Captain Skyhawk puts the player in an advanced fighter across a sequence of varied missions. Low-level sorties require cannon fire and bombs against alien bases, while air-to-air stages focus on missiles, evasive rolls, and speed control. Other assignments involve dropping supplies and docking with an orbital station to exchange captured resources for upgraded weapons. Success depends on reading each mission briefing and using the correct weapon at the correct altitude.
