Skate or Die

The Good
Love the pool-jousting and the half-pipe. I had never seen a skating game where the player get to punch and kick each other during a downhill battle. It was like a "street" of California Games. Cracking the copy-protection was one of my most memorable victories over Electronic Arts. (I never understood why EA used to be "EOA")

The Bad
Took a while to load, but that was normal for any good c64 game. Other than that, nothing.

The Bottom Line
Better half-pipe events than California Games. And the pool-jousting made it more fun than 720. This has to be one of skateboarding's best games ever!!

The Good
This game offers up quite a bit of replay value and is a rather original idea. Skating against the computer is a challenge and also can be fun.

The Bad
The controls, which generally shouldn't be a challenge to master in a game, are a slight challenge here. Most hurdles are quickly overcome, however.

The Bottom Line
Skate or Die is, although a bit lacking in ease of playing, a fun game with quite a bit of replay value thanks to the different styles of play. Skating fans and non- alike will both enjoy this mix of innocent fun and attitude.

The Good
Absolutely nothing!

The Bad
The controls are terrible and the game itself simply sucks!

The Bottom Line
Terrible! Keep a safe distance!
