Activision Classics - Skiing (Slalom Racing)

Skiing has always been a game that has interested me much. Back at the time, my family headed up for Mt. Charleston to go sledding a bunch, and Daddy liked to ski very much, too. I've always had a bit of an impression Daddy was a good skier, and the skier in this game, I though, could be Daddy a bit.

For the Slalom Race in Skiing, the player must guide their skier through the number of gates required. Even if the player doesn't go through all of the gates by the time they reach the last red gate, the game will end regardlessly. The trees and the gates themselves provide to be hazards here.

This run may be simplistic, but it is the best way, I feel, to demonstrate the Slalom Racing. This is the game I normally play in for it, so it is quite natural to show it.

Brings back some good times.The best fun to be had on Atari 2600 was 2 player boxing,in my opinion. Thanks for the post.

Thanks. I still have a bit of fun with it today. My username has a "Y" at the end of it, just to let you know.

Oh Im sorry about my misspelling ;)

[OceanBlueKirby]

It's okay. I've had a few cases where my username was mispelled before, so it is better tolerated. I made it after my favorite color spraypaint for Kirby in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and Kirby is my favorite Nintendo character. The way it was spelled in the last comment interestingly sounded something similar to a foreign language word (Italian comes to mind)...

This is another game that I've seen before, but not sure if I've actually played - don't think I have. I have played the old Windows game Ski-Free numerous times though and always figured it was based on this.
