And so diverse - top down shooting, awesome boss fights, docking, dropping supplies, shooting fighters… I almost forgot it since my childhood (I am 40 now), but it was a good game
Sucha fun pick-up-and-play game from my youth. A solid title from top to bottom and worth a look for anyone to try. As always, thank you for posting gold!
Captain Skyhawk is a mark of Rare's quality back in those days! EDIT: I never imagined the Maverick missiles could have that sort of effect on enemies in the ground attack stages! (Blasting the nearby enemies if it connects)
OH MY GOD!!! This brought back soooo many memories. This game, along with the original Super Mario Bros. were my first 2 ever games when my parents gave me a NES for Christmas when I was like 9 or 10yrs old. Thank you so much for this nostalgic experience!
I think I owned this as a kid. I remember being somewhat disappointed at first, but the more I played it the more I loved it. I don’t think I ever played it as much as Life Force, but it spent a lot of time in my NES.

Captain Skyhawk is a fast, smooth, and fun shooter that really flatters the NES's hardware. Rare was awesome, weren't they?
One of my favorite NES games
Rare was great...as long as they didn't have to develop any LJN games.

If there was one studio that consistently delivered an enjoyable gameplay experience, it was Rare.
Rare was not infallible. Just play Beetlejuice for the NES.
@@yusakug they made a lot of games LJN put out. Nightmare on Elm Street and Roger Rabbit lol. they appeared on a lot of early AVGN episodes.
loved this game so much
I could never beat this game when I was kid so happy to finally see the ending lol
I always loved this game! Dig those early David Wise tunes!
I loved this game as a kid, brings back so many awesome memories. Thank you for sharing this video.
Programmer Brendan Gunn later became a programmer on the SNES classic Donkey Kong Country.
Love this game especially as a kid. I remember once I learned how to dock in the space station I blew through the game fast.
I saw this game all the time, no idea Rare made it. They made a lot of interesting stuff back then.
One of my all time favorites on the NES!
this game looks awesome just proof that sometimes you cant beat a good retro game so thank you for revealing this gem.
This is one of those really weird ones that I enjoyed the hell out of.

It's super handy since the game rewards killing all of the enemies in certain formations with money for weapons.

"Cooper, what are you doing?"
"Docking..."
I remember this. Prologue to Ace Combat games on PlayStation/Switch
I think I owned this as a kid. I remember being somewhat disappointed at first, but the more I played it the more I loved it.

I frigging loved this game as a kid. So many good memories with this one. Is this the reason I have to have my camera thumbstick inverted, perhaps?
13:48 Okay, that was a pretty sweet move, that Maverick AGM Launch mid-roll in Mission 5.
Classic 80's game!
Rare was the real goat 🔥🔥💪🐐, all their games were great and decent (even taboo being a game that was strange had its touch)
Ultimate Play the Game😁
"All their games were great and decent"
Roger Rabbit and Beetlejuice: Are you sure about that?
I remember pumping many fun hours into this game. Finally made it to the last boss only for the game to crash.
I had no idea...poetry...they should have sent a poet...
Very addicting
0:25 was always the best part.🤩
Aye, this game don't look too bad, but why's it gotta be an F-14D Super Tomcat? Why can't it be an F-16 Fighting Falcon, or an F-15C Eagle?
Está bonito el juego😮
This game was awesome
The letters falling down was tight.
I didn't know that the plane could roll like that in this game. How do you do it
Hold select and tap left or right
OMG I Miss this game so much! They should port it to pc.
Kinda like After Burner for the Sega Genesis
Zaxxon too.
I loved this game so much my god I’m Ethiopian in Ethiopia but this was it !! I was 8/9 or something
How is this new I've been watching this for months
Ayriyetten övündüler yani zaten ❤
I could never beat this game as a kid back in 1991.
Impressionante
Pretty much Milton Bradley's
Answer to zaxxon.
The NES version is a port of the Arcade game? Which was developed first?
Love a shooter where you can't see five feet in front of your face.
