Sky Kid (スカイキッド, Sukai Kiddō?) is a horizontal scrolling shooter arcade game that was released by Namco in 1985. It runs on Namco Pac-Land hardware but with a video system like that used in Dragon Buster. It is also the first game from Namco to allow 2 players to play simultaneously. The game was later released on the Famicom (brought to the American NES by Sunsoft), and both this version and the original arcade version were later released on Nintendo's Virtual Console service.
A sequel named Sky Kid Deluxe was released in 1986. It introduced several new enemies and missions.
