Sky Kid NES arcade authenticity

Post by Andi »

How well does the NES version of Sky Kid compare to the arcade version? I've compared screens and (obviously) the graphics have been stripped down a little bit, but are the levels and the enemy placements identical? Scoring values for enemies the same? Etc.

Graphically speaking, the NES version is not as good. But the gameplay is still intact, however your plane does seem to move slower, and the enemies do seem more aggressive.
