Sky Jinks is a vertically scrolling, air racing-themed video game developed by Bob Whitehead for the Atari 2600[2] and published by Activision in 1982.
In Sky Jinks, the player pilots a low-flying Seversky XP-41[3] airplane through a time trial.
To complete a game level, the player must bank around a prescribed number of pylons (left for blue and right for red).
The game has four courses: Polo Grounds, Aero Race, Love Field, and Speedy Meadows.
[3] In the mid-1980s, social psychologist Roy Baumeister used the game in his psychological research into performance anxiety.
