Academy is an arcade strategy game released in 1987 by CRL and developed by Pete Cooke. Set in a futuristic environment, the game revolves around training elite pilots for advanced military skimmers. Players must complete a series of missions to graduate from the Galcorp Academy for Advanced Skimmer Pilots (GASP).

The game is divided into five levels, each containing four missions. Players can select missions and skimmers, and design custom skimmers for specific tasks. The gameplay involves both ground and flight modes, where players control the skimmer using keyboard or joystick commands.

The missions require strategic thinking and involve various tasks, such as reconnaissance and combat. Players must manage equipment like shields, lasers, and missiles, and use optional items like scanners and flares to succeed in missions.

Academy offers a unique experience with its mission-based structure and equipment customization. The game also includes a bonus program, 'Starmap,' showcasing stars visible from Earth. It serves as a prequel to the game Tau Ceti, sharing a similar theme and gameplay style.
