Captain Skyhawk is a scrolling shooter video game developed by Rare for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The game was released in North America by Milton Bradley in June 1990 and in Europe by Nintendo in 1991.
The game features top-down scrolling overhead isometric graphics, including simulated 3D terrain.
The game player is the pilot of the plane, code-named the F-14VTS (a fictional version of the F-14), and must avoid the mountainous terrain while annihilating aliens.
The objectives vary across missions and include destroying an enemy base, dropping supplies, fighting aerial battles, picking up a scientist, and docking with a space station.
If the space station is allowed to obtain enough energy, it will destroy the Earth with a massive laser blast.
