Default [Tracker] Skyworker

Hi folks,
I'm searching for a game I used to play as a child, meaning in the 90s.

- I'm pretty sure it was for DOS - if not, it definitely was Win95 (but rather DOS)
- First person view & 2D graphics, style was pretty much Sci-Fi
- It was played rather adventure-ish with a lot of dialogs
- Player is being brought to a flying city, where he has a limited amount of time to get a job and stuff, before he's brought back down to earth
- In the game you could have a series of apartments, either cheap or luxurious
- You could play as a male or female character
- Every time you travelled, you'd get a nice teleportation animation
- You could search for jobs via your ingame-computer. The jobs 'd be some mini games, where you'd fly around spaceships and such
- You could even date other characters, visit fitness-centers, go to a career advisor, create your own curicculum vitae, etc.
- If you did illegal stuff, the police would arrest you and bring you back to earth

I actually remember this game pretty well, I'm almost sure it was called something like "Sky City", but I was unable to find any clue of it till this very day.



Ideas would be appreciated.

Archive.org has a shareware CD... probably not the full version. http://archive.org/details/cdrom-isle-adventure
