cd-w Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 About 8 years ago I foolishly gave all my Atari ST stuff away to a charity shop and moved over to the world of PCs. Naturally, I soon regretted it and have recently been reaquiring my old favourites on eBay. However, there was one particular game that I haven't been able to find anywhere, and there seems to be no mention of it on the Web. I believe the game was called "Sopwith" (possibly "Sopwith Camel") and it was a simple (but addictive) 2D sideways-scroller. There is a PC Sopwith Game which is somewhat similar, but it is much more primitive than the ST version that I used to play. I believe the ST version was created using STOS, but it was sold commercially, possibly through the ST format magazine. Anyway, has anyone else heard-of or played this excellent game? I would really like to get hold of it again as I spent hours of fun plaing it in the past! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd-w Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) After some searching it turns out that the game is called SkyStrike by Aaron Fothergill. There is also a version called SkyStrike Plus, which adds a few extras. There was a variant on the Amiga called JetStrike, and there is also a modern remake called Turning the Tide. It was indeed written using STOS and is just as addictive now as before. Unfortunately the versions that I have been able to download have a bug on level 26 (the cliff gun can't be destroyed), so let me know if you have a good version.

StickHead Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Have you tried the version on Cynix compilation disk 3? Edited August 25, 2009 by StickHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
