Sky Raider DescriptionPilot an aircraft and destroy strategic targets as you fly over the enemy territory. The targets include oil fields, electrical towers, bridges and enemy aircraft, which look like commercial airliners. The object is to hit as many targets as possible within the time allowed.Game PlayThe enemy does not fire at you. The steering controls the speed of your aircraft as well as the crosshairs you use to target the enemy. Rack as as many points as possible to get extended play. The game is timed. Each target is worth a different amount of points with the enemy plane worth the most due to the difficulty in destroying it since it is moving toward you and under your aircraft.MiscellaneousSome of the Atari games made around 1977-1978 used similar cabinets and steering yoke, but steering movement, cabinet colors were different. Example would be Starship I. These cabinets were unique due to the entire marquee, plexiglass, speakers were all together on one huge plastic frame that connected on to the top of the game and also the control panel went in the middle of it towards the bottom, which fastened the frame to the bottom. Speakers are on each side, facing you and about neck level which made the sound great.VAPS Arcade CensusThere are 6,975 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 4,013 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.
