Ever wondered why practically no editors exist for this game? There IS a reason! :o

For today's Ancient DOS Games Mod video, Gemin's taking a look at how to make your own levels for the old runner game SkyRoads using the only working editor which seems to be available for download anywhere, SkyEdit.

While the level design in SkyRoads is incredibly simple, there are definitely things to keep in mind when developing your own, as well as various limitations you have to work within, plus SkyEdit itself can be more trouble than it's worth sometimes, but when it comes down to it, this is definitely one of the easier games to design new levels for!

Additional Information and Corrections:

* Here's a link to download my custom 6-level set for SkyRoads! Once again, be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you back up your ROADS.LZS file before you extract this into your SkyRoads directory! (Note: If you play a level that doesn't exist in this custom set you'll simply just fall to your death over and over until you quit.) http://www.pixelships.com/adg/files/adgroads.zip

* Here's a link to the SkyRoads section over on the ModdingWiki website, which has links to download SkyEdit along with other pages full of useful information, especially if you want to build your own editing tools! http://www.shikadi.net/moddingwiki/SkyRoads


* In response to this video, Kai E. Frøland, creator of the Sky High SkyRoads Editor, decided to jump back into developing it and the latest release looks quite a bit more advanced than it was back when I made this video!
