A 1-credit clear of the arcade game Sky Skipper, played with WolfMAME 0.277. Score: 45,470. Cleared four stages (a loop) plus one more. An obscure Nintendo game from 1981 that was rediscovered through emulation and a surprise Switch release. Gorillas with baseballs try to crash your plane, while you flit about collecting all the playing card people. In later stages, where the level is more of a maze, gorillas can gatekeep where you want to go, which doesn't feel great when fuel is ticking down. It also feels a bit fiddly trying not to stun a gorilla on top of card you need to jump up. Still - it's quite impressive for a 1981 arcade game!
