The Games Machine (TGM)
Rob Hubbard has coaxed a commendable Heavy Metal guitar sound out of the PC and used it to produce some amusingly over-the-top music. All this, plus polished presentation and fast loading, makes for an exceptional PC product.

Computer and Video Games (CVG)
Ski or Die is by far the best sports game available on the PC, and the best thing of all is that you don´t need a top-of-the-range PC to appreciate it!

Dispite its simplicity, this game is very entertaining. You control a skier and you get to compete in various challenges. The diversity of this game is its main advantage. You can snowboard, perform acro aerial jumps, storm down a slope in an innertube, try your luck in a downhill descent or simply shoot down kids and various animals using snowballs. The graphics are satisfactory, but the PC speaker sound can get quite irritating so I suggest the usage of sound blaster or no sounds at all. All in all, this is an enjoyable game, both for kids and adults!

Power Play
Der Nachfolger zum Skateboard-Mix "Skate or Die" macht einen Riesenspaß. In jede Disziplin wurde spürbar viel Spielwitz und drollige Grafik gequetscht (zumindest unter EGA - mit CGA sieht's weniger berühmt aus).
