This Sky Kid 5 Screw listing is for Sunsoft's NES version of Namco's biplane shooter, in an early five-screw cartridge shell. It reached North America in September 1987. You get the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
Sky Kid began as a 1985 Namco arcade game. Sun Corporation, known as Sunsoft, published the NES version. It is a scrolling shooter in which you fly a biplane as one of the Sky Kids, Red Baron or Blue Max.
Each mission gives you a target to bomb. Your plane starts without a bomb, so you have to pick one up on the way. The A button fires your machine gun and the B button makes the plane perform a loop.
The game has a few secrets. Looping over a billboard can reveal one of four hidden Namco characters. Wikipedia lists 21 missions for the game.
Wikipedia's NES article notes that early NES cartridges are held together with five small slotted screws. Collectors call them 5-screw carts and track them apart from later shells. This Sky Kid cartridge is one of those early shells. The game is the same as on our standard listing. Look at the photos to see the exact cart and label you will receive.
