Skunny's Desert Raid

The Good
The game has good colorful looking graphics, especially for 1993, and Skunny himself is sorta a cute mascot.

The Bad
The game is a poor clone of the 80's shootemup Scramble, which was very outdated by mid-90s. Plane controls are stiff, making the game is insanely hard despite being very slow. Most enemies are on the ground, and the only way to take them out are highly limited bombs (which you need to destroy final objective of each level) - so it's usually not worth it. There are no powerups or weapon upgrades, except for one-use super bomb. The game's plot is supposed to be the satire of the Gulf War and operation Desert Storm, but if anything comes across as offensive and stereotypical of Iraqi people. The game has no bosses (levels end by bombing a static target). The game has only six levels, most of which shorter than 5 minutes, all of which look basically the same and use the same music.

The Bottom Line
Not worth anyone's time. It's way too hard for children or beginners, and simplistic and short gameplay will not satisfy shootemup fans. There are many better DOS shmups, like Tyrian or Raptor. I see no reason why anyone would play this - even if you're nostalgic for this game from childhood, it's better to keep this one just a memory.
