Player's Review

"DOWNHILL BLITZ Scream down a glaciated hillside, the most treacherous downhill ever! SNOWBALL BLAST Fire snowballs at a bevy of belligerent brats. ACRO AERIALS Scale the ozone in this radical ski jump event. VILLAGE SQUARE Cinch up your bindings, and boogie over to 5 outrageous alpine events."

The C64 led the way with the original Skate or Die. With Ski or die, dos was the primary version and the C64 conversion took a notable quality hit in graphics and playability. The music isn't as good as with Skate or die, but its not to bad.

Again there are five events to play through and unless you have friends, the game is short and not a whole lot of fun to play as you just end up with a score attack against your own scores.

I play through the game twice in an effort to get a better score and maybe show some more moves and routes. The game can feel quite laggy and un responsive to your inputs but maybe a little less time sensitive than the previous game. Well apart from Snowball blast that seems to be running way to fast and not giving me enough time.
