[antrix30]

i love this game, i played all the time back in the early 90,s, great childhood memories, when i first played this game i remember thinking WOW best game ever

[HellPet]

I forgot the controls of all the games. :( Enter, space, arrow keys? What to use when?

[Napostriouf]

@HellPet I was playing with game pad! ^_^ By the way, most of time, when you play with keyboard at this, it use arrow and spacebar.

I remember the impossible sky jump and the even-more-impossible ice skating... good times!

@zelymix

That's right! I had that too. I always got pulled towards the wall in the third round...

[Antimensch]

in fact it was or still is a great game - I ever wondered how to have a save landing at ski jumping beyond 97,5 meters.

can someone help me, or is it a commonly known bug?

because in the world class tournament the leading computer opponents have something like 112 meters etc. - I am able to jump so far but not to land savely there - any dodge existing?

[Napostriouf]

@Antimensch You need to press in front, and then once you quit the platform, press back then you gonna be able to jump around 121 meters! ^,^ But you must be at the exact right time, if not you would have around 95 meters.

@Napostriouf

But i can't land after 96 meters :(

[seishirebirth]

Oh my god thanks so much for shared this vid.

I will never forget all afternoons I spent in my childhood playing this game.

IMHO this is so fuckin better that many 3D HD shit.

Sweet memories...

Thanks again!

[Napostriouf]

Yes we're missing MindSpan games style. ;_;

[Pazzknallie]

I always failed the Ski Jump, except for once (but I don't know how)... How did that event work?

[Napostriouf]

@Pazzknallie Control your ski with the cross and press button just when your near landing, if you press before you gonna crash.

[Napostriouf]

@zelymix Yes, it's because of copy protection, you must have the "REAL" tickets for avoid the "death".

[CameroonLoser]

I got this game on dosbox! Managed to jump 96 meters, yay record

[Konsker]

love the music

[Napostriouf]

Yes, maybe the only one with Summer Challenge, where we really feel an international effect/ambiance in the music.

[belandino]

Hey... Nice speed-skating skills! Do you emulate joystick with DosBox? If you do, can you please tell me how to make it work? Thanks in advance. 5/5 for the video.

[Napostriouf]

Hi, yes the joystick/gamepad is emulated with dosbox. Mine is automatically detected, a dilong USB gamepad. If your gamepad is unstandard well you can adapt your dosbox to your own gameped by editing dosbox.conf on [joysticktype] line. On top of the joysticktype section it is instruction about options you can chose.

[fivestringfingerfunk]

Thx for that - I use to play that a lot. The game that almost ruined my RETURN-Key. ^^

[Napostriouf]

;) Yes, that's the kind of game that you absolutly need a gamepad or Joystick if you don't want to ruin your keyboard!

[hellmonja]

sweet music and graphics! on what platform was this?...

[Napostriouf]

It was on PC (dos)
