Item Condition

A mini reproduction box only — a scaled-down display replica of the original box; no game, manual or inserts are included. The photos are of this exact box — look them over closely for its print and details. The clear plastic box protector shown in the photos is included. The acrylic display stand in the photos is a presentation prop and is not included. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Five events, one skate shop and a neighborhood full of attitude. Skate or Die started out as Electronic Arts' 1987 Commodore 64 game, the first title EA developed in-house, and Konami carried it over to the NES in 1988 under its Ultra Games label. It chopped skateboarding into quick, competitive contests: a freestyle ramp, a high jump, a downhill race, a scrappy downhill jam and a pool joust where knocking your rival off his board was the entire point. Pass the controller around a living room and it turned into an instant tournament.

The music got real care in the move to Nintendo's hardware. Kouji Murata arranged Rob Hubbard's well-loved Commodore 64 theme for the NES sound chip, and the port went on to sell 1.2 million copies by 1990, putting a little late-'80s skate culture into a lot of bedrooms.

This scaled-down reproduction of the North American box shrinks that Ultra Games era down to shelf size. It pairs nicely with other Konami and Ultra releases, or with a run of sports and extreme-sports classics, and it brings back the feeling of browsing the NES aisle when skateboarding was the coolest thing a cartridge could promise. It is a Mini Box Gaming reproduction, not original packaging, and its back panel carries the Mini Box Gaming logo.
