VideoGames & Computer Entertainment's David Plotkin reviewed the NES Sky Shark ($44.99) in January 1990 and rated it 8 overall, with 7 for graphics, 6 for sound and music and 8 for playability. He found it exciting if not especially original, with gorgeous scrolling scenery, faulted the continue screen, where pressing A ends the game, and wrote that it was so like other scrolling shoot-'em-ups, especially Capcom's 1943, that owners of one would find little new in it.image 46, review headingimage 46, ratingsimage 46, ratingsimage 46, ratingsimage 46, review textimage 46, review textimage 48, review text (continued)image 48, review text (continued)image 48, review text (continued)Magazine
