Downhill Challenge

First in a series of decent skiing games that ended with Super Ski 3, Microids' Super Ski is a fun and surprisingly realistic CGA skiing game. The graphics look crisp and clear -- no small feat given the 4-color palette of CGA. Skiier animations are very smooth, and the game offers good play value with 4 types of ski events, some with alternate routes you can try. You can practice any event before the tournament to hone your skills.

Overall, a solid start to one of the most underrated skiing series of all time. Try it out, and you'll be surprised at how good a 1988 skiing game can get :) Two thumbs up!
