It was the year 1987, and even the Super Nintendo was not yet available. Skateboarding games had not really been developed yet, until the Skate or Die game was released. It was completed by Electronic Arts, and was released on PC, Commondore 64, and the Atari system. Eventually Konami published it for the Nintendo, as it quickly became a very popular skate game. You might say it was also the first one.
Like other epyx games, players can compete in 5 skateboarding modes, either solo or multiplayer. You could play freestyle events, high jump, downhill skateboarding, and racing. My favorite was the downhill jam, which featured fast gameplay and intense skate tricks on the fly.
One of the funniest features of this skateboarding games is the characters. Rodney wears a purple mohawk and is covered in tattoos. He runs a skate shop. His son also skates, and you can play as Bionic Lester. I also remember the ski or die series being lots of fun. This game received positive reviews and was ahead of its time indeed. I can't believe its still fun to play today.
