SkyChase is a combat flight simulator designed by Ralph Russell and published in 1988. It is the first game developed by Maxis.

Gameplay

SkyChase is an arcadey combat flight simulator often compared to Top Gun by Ocean Software.[2][3][4]

Reception

Julian Rignall of Computer and Video Games compared the game negatively to other flight simulators of the time: "Although Sky Chase has an impressive front end, the game itself is very simplistic, and plays similarly to Ocean's failed Top Gun Licence; it pales in comparison with Cascade's Ace II. There's little difference between the planes, and the gameplay is very repetitive."[2]

Gary Whitta of Commodore User summarized: "[...] I would only advise you to consider buying Skychase if you have a chum to play it with. The computer mode is boring, too easy, and ultimately a drag to play."[3]

Zzap!64 concluded that the game is "An exhilarating flying game - at its best with two players at the controls."[6]
