While in university a friend and I dumped the original sky roads levels by dumping the dosbox heap while the game was loaded and reverse engineering the memory map. If i remember correctly we emailed the original devs (who are awesome) and they gave permission for rerelease for the open source remake available at the time.

It's relatively unplayable on IceWeasel 38.6.1 (Debian). The graphics are flashing on and off.

A bit of gaming history: this is apparently a clone of a game called SkyRoads which Wikipedia claims to be a clone of &quot;Kosmonauts&quot;, but that is obviously a clone of a hypnotic space-themed game Trailblazer from the 80&#x27;s. See here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5EXsxd8O7eU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5EXsxd8O7eU</a> for C64. Thus, the question arises: does anyone know if Trailblazer itself is a clone of some other game?

Skyroads was the best game from my childhood.

I think this would make for a great mobile game - not sure if the devs have considered supporting mobile platforms for it, but I can&#x27;t seem to find anything approaching a good clone on the play store.

That perspective is quite hard on my eyes for some reason.

I wonder if it would be possible to get the levels from BlueMoon&#x27;s first game &quot;Kosmonaut&quot; to run in OpenRoads.

Awesome, thanks for game, but I see too much blinking on my Ubuntu 15.04 desktop (firefox 37)

Ahh. In the original game I can finish all levels except for Druidia 2 and 3.

Reminds me of the HP48 game Babal.
