ARCADE WATCH

Game Sky Riders

Manufacturer Ace Amusement

It was only last issue that we were ruminating on hoves into view, asking the player to pedal it like a bicycle in order to propel a winged vehicle through a selection of colourful stages, popping balloons to accumulate points along the way. If you frequented arcades in the mid-’90s you might well recall the concept from , from which borrows unashamedly, and we’re hoping that this new iteration is as robust as Namco’s original, examples of which are still in operation, despite all the pedal-harder-to-go-faster beatings they’ve taken over the years. Created by Chinese company Ace Amusement, the game has been installed in an increasing amount of venues since its introduction to the UK a few months ago, so there’s a good chance it’ll turn up at a bowling alley near you soon.
