Sky Shark (USA, Rev. 0A)
Flying Shark, released in Japan as Hishouzame (飛翔鮫), and in the US as Sky Shark, is a 1987 vertical scrolling shooter arcade game developed by Toaplan and published by Taito. It was later published in North America by Romstar, in the United Kingdom by Electrocoin and in Italy by Model Racing.
In 1989, the game received a sequel in the form of Fire Shark.
Piloting a biplane, the player takes out enemy land, air, and naval craft across various environments. Certain waves of enemy airplanes produce bonuses when shot down, such as powerups, point bonuses, and extra lives. Each stage begins and ends at a runway, and every time the player lands at a runway beyond the first takeoff, the amount of bombs multiply 3,000 points to the player's total score. The player gets 3 bombs at the start of each stage (or death). The game has five stages and then it loops from stage two indefinitely.
