Sky Hawk is a 1976 arcade video game that has the player shooting down enemy planes that are realistically projected on the 16mm-screen. The game's flyer advertises realistic graphics and explosive sounds. If the player scores an eight or over (one point for each plane, each game has ten planes in all), he or she will be given a free game. The game is a light gun game where you hold the plastic controller with two hands and move it to aim at the planes. The game lasts 60 seconds, and the player must shoot down 10 ships within that time limit in order to achieve a perfect score.
History[]
Sky Hawk came before Nintendo of America's founding. The game was distributed by Empire in North America, where it made its debut at the AMOA show in November 1976. It was among the more popular arcade attractions at the show, along with Nintendo's Wild Gunman and Shooting Trainer.[1]
