Sky Shark

Typed out by tsr NES-2S-USA Taito(tm) Sky Shark(tm) --- [comic book] Narrator: The battles of World War II were non-stop marathons of attrition on the sea and in the skies. No squadron has more kills than yours and no one in your squadron is better than you. That's why they call you the Sky Shark. Pilot 1: Ahhh! Pilot 2: Woody! Woody! Can you read? Rats! My last man. I've got to get through to enemy headquarters alone. It's the only chance to save my men. N: Just as the battle seems lost, US POW's are marched further into enemy territory and an uncertain fate. Enemy commander: Hah! They'll never find their men now, even if they do penetrate our superior defenses! N: Through sheer cunning and determination, the Sky Shark has to penetrate the enemies' first line of defensed, but he has yet to locate their command post and the American POWs. P2: I'll give those stinking dogs some good old American cooking... N: The artillery fire flies from all directions, pummeling Sky Shark, but he fights on. P2: If I can only get through this squadron of enemy fighters, I might have a chance to save them. Bingo! That's gotta be their command post. Now if I could only locate... There they are! Our boys! N: Sky Shark, risking it all, flies into the swarm of oncoming enemy attackers. It's his last chance to save the day... --- How to operate Controller: Controller 1 - Player One Controller 2 - Player Two Key Pad: Moves P-40 fighter "A" Button: Fires Machine Guns "B" Button: Launches Bombs Select Button - Press the SELECT button to choose a 1 or 2 player game. - The number of players is shown by the blue aircraft in the lower left corner of the title screen.
