Item Description

Point your skier down the mountain, let gravity take over and carve between trees, moguls and gates while the clock runs. Skiing is one of the purest speed games of the early console era, and every run is over in a satisfying rush.

There are two disciplines to choose from. Downhill is a race to the bottom with gates spaced far apart, while slalom packs them tightly together and adds a five-second penalty for every one you miss, so a reckless run can cost more than it gains. Skiers pick up speed automatically depending on how steep the course is, one button throws in a sharper turn, and another lets you jump moguls rather than steering around them. Each skier gets three heats, and difficulty settings change the course itself.

Mattel first released the game in 1980 as U.S. Ski Team Skiing, carrying the team's official branding, and it later circulated simply as Skiing. Designed by Scott Reynolds, it belongs to the Intellivision's first wave of sports titles, and INTV Corporation returned to the slopes in 1988 with Mountain Madness: Super Pro Skiing.

The best part may be the party potential. Up to six players can take turns chasing the best time, which makes it a natural fit for a group gathered around the TV, passing the controller and trash-talking every missed gate.

About the game

In Skiing, your goal is to ski to the bottom of the mountain in the shortest time possible. The mountain is treacherous with plenty of trees and moguls in the way! There are two different modes of gameplay. In slalom mode, there are a series of gates you need to ski through; missing any will result in a penalty to your time. In downhill mode you just need to ski to the bottom as fast as possible. Each mode includes five different skill levels which affect the length of the course (and the number of gates in slalom mode.)
