The DOS port of Skyfox II supports CGA and EGA graphics with PC Speaker sound. Buried within the executable is a Tandy 1000 graphics and sound driver (I was originally mistaken about the lack of Tandy graphics support). This video shows what the game would look and sound like with EGA graphics and Tandy 1000 sound. The Tandy 1000 sound driver is enabled by patching SKYFOX16.EXE. This is the game's attract mode with the title screen and opening credits, followed by a self-playing gameplay demonstration.

To enable the Tandy 1000 sound driver in the EGA executable, verify that SKYFOX16.EXE has a CRC32 of 0E1B5A78, navigate to file offset hex 116D3, and change the bytes 01 00 to 00 01.
