Item Description

Long before the Game Boy Advance gave Tony Hawk fans isometric skate parks to explore, the series' first trip to a Nintendo handheld took a completely different line. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for the Game Boy Color, developed by Natsume and published by Activision in 2000, did not try to squeeze Neversoft's PlayStation hit onto a tiny screen. Instead it built its own game around two kinds of events that play to the handheld's strengths.

The half-pipe is the showpiece. Viewed from the side in the tradition of Skate or Die, it has you launching back and forth between the ramps and pulling tricks for points, a simple setup that still leaves plenty of room for high-score chasing. The race events switch to a vertically scrolling overhead view, with jumps launching automatically at each ramp so the focus stays on picking your line and timing your tricks. Tournament Mode runs you through five of those courses against three computer-controlled skaters, Rival Mode settles things one-on-one with the computer, and Versus Mode does the same against a friend over the link cable.

Reviews were mixed at the time, but GameSpot felt it was the best skateboarding game yet made for a portable system, and it kicked off a long run of Tony Hawk games on Nintendo handhelds, from the GBC sequels to the celebrated Game Boy Advance editions.

It is a fascinating look at the Birdman's earliest days on handhelds, and a reminder of how much skating Natsume packed into a game built for two buttons and a D-pad.

About the game

This is the first handheld version of Tony Hawk's popular skateboarding game. It bears little resemblance to the original Playstation version. It is composed of two events: a half pipe and a race mode. Half pipe mode is viewed from a side perspective, similar to the classic Skate or Die game. You perform tricks to achieve a high score. Race mode is viewed from a top-down perspective, where you aim to perform tricks and get to the end quickly.
