RUN's William Gates reviewed Taito's Commodore 64 Sky Shark ($29.95) in November 1989. He found that it "lacks the allure of its coin-op progenitor" but was still fun, and named three drawbacks: a lost plane restarts at fixed points in the level, dropping a bomb takes a hand off the joystick to the space bar, and the game comes down to memorizing the enemy's patterns. Tokens from shooting down eight red planes raise the plane's basic two-shot fire in six increments.p. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games Galleryp. 28 (image 30), Games GalleryMagazine
