@volvo145 Its good ok!
2 people eat yellow snow.
One of the interesting things with this game was if you got a good enough score on one of the races, took a picture of it, and then sent it in to Activision, they one send you a nifty high score patch.
@ARCADDER Yep. 😀
I never knew activision was around or 31 years
Back in the day when Activision used to be an awesome game company now those days are gone and now is just C………
It’s such a quiet, calming game until you hit a pole.
I’m searching the internet for like 25 minutes for the Atari 2600 Music Portal of Power before my wife told me you were joking.
Man, you should SO do that.
You’d make… easily 17 bucks or something.
funny how this review is longer than this game
@volvo145 Its damn good ok!
Activision’s super extreme powered up hyper speed downhill action skiing for Atari 2600.
i just got this in the ail today, put itin my 4 switch and BAM its fucking skiing
Much talking you stupit idiot
Skiing is probably the best game of its type on the 2600.
Did ANYBODY ever get that patch for completing game 3 in under 28 seconds?! I tried several times on both Activision Hits Remixed for the PSP and Activision Anthology for the iPhone, and I can’t get the damn thing!
Character’s scream FTW
activision made the best atari 2600 games.
@ImmaEverything where have you been for 20 years?
Awesome! i’ve spent hours and hours on this game! Still have it, together with my Atari 2600!
Damn, something really special about this game… something in the back of my mind shouted for joy as if remembering a moment in my childhood when I coveted this awesome and elusive game.
@michael1234252 The 2600 is how they got started. Activision was formed by a bunch of Atari programmers who weren’t happy with the contracts they had at Atari. They left and started their own company producing games in competition with Atari. Atari didn’t anticipate this scenario and had no mechanism to block unlicensed games on the system. Atari sued but lost, Activision pretty much pioneered the idea of 3rd party game development.
horace goes skiing on the zx spectrum is better
when the music is added it reminds me of the movie Ski Patrol
ahh the days when Activision made games that had diversity not just the same thing over and over like COD
This guy sounds like a game show host
@6425gorda and now they are 10 ;o
We love you man, and your reviews continue to make me laugh and keep me entertained.
@volvo145 speaking of snow, my first time wating this on new year in 2012 i had to go pee.
you should remake this game using the mutant league hockey engine, and released it as Lord Karnage Skiing.
Almost as good as the vectrex version, yay
WOW I GOT A CAMERA ADVERTISEMENT PLAYING SKRILLEX :DD!
I think i had this on the C64, or something very similar.
Fun game.
I remember this game
Mark, update your Atari man. The portal of power is so 5.1, everyone uses the new holographic ar shop now.
