Reading about this game in the
"Run 2 Run" thread has brought me back memories. It used to be a shareware game, but it was later re-released as freeware, so I though it would be a good idea to make a thread about it
Description:Skyroads is a futuristic racing game with platforming elements. You must get to the end of the track dodging and/or jumping over obstacles and holes. Each track has its own style and gravity level (your ship will jump a lot higher if the gravity level of the zone is lower than usual). There are also floor tiles with different colors and properties. For example, blue tiles recharge your fuel/oxygen supply, light green speeds your ship greatly, red damages your ship, etc.

The developers also released the entire game soundtrack in various formats. You can download it at this page:
