About this product
Product Information
You can practice your best backside flip, refine your boardslide, and perfect the rest of your skateboarding moves. Skate or Die! for Nintendo Entertainment System is a classic console game that can let you skate your way to fame and fortune. You can compete in a variety of different events that feature real skateboarding moves. From the graphics to the character design, it is heavy on 1980s gameplay charm. In Skate or Die! for NES, you control a skater competing in a variety of skateboarding events. You start off with a downhill course and work your way to freestyle ramps, high jumps, a pool joust, and other downhill races. Along the way, you encounter other characters. Rodney Recloose runs the skate shop where you get your gear. His son, Bionic Lester, is your main nemesis in the game. You must beat him and his two friends, Aggro Eddie and Poseur Pete, in skating events. The downhill events are races and usually involve competing with Bionic Lester. You must best Lester in other events as well, such as the ramps and jumps. Your joust opponent depends on your skill level. If you are a beginner, you compete with Poseur Pete, but you may face off with Aggro Eddie if you have more gaming experience. If you are skilled in the game, you must best Lester in the joust. Skate or Die! for NES features both single player and multiplayer modes. In single player mode, you control one skater, who competes against the non-playable characters in the game. Multi-player modes add additional skaters to the tournament. You can play this game with up to eight players, which can offer hours of skateboard gaming fun. Skate or Die! for NES can offer a variety of different gameplay elements, including racing, strategic moves, and tournament-style play. Skate or Die! was originally released for NES and computer game systems such as MS-DOS, Amiga Atari ST, Apple IIGS, Amstrad CPC, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and Commodore 64. Electronic Arts launched it for all game platforms in 1988. It was not re-released for later game platforms such as Super Nintendo or Nintendo 64. However, Electronic Arts released a sequel called Skate or Die 2: The Search for Double Trouble in 1990. This product is the NES version of the original game. It is not compatible with home computers or other consoles such as Atari 5200, Atari 7800, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, GBA, Xbox 360, or PSP. Although this game predates the ESRB games rating system, it does not involve any violence or mature subject matter. The whole family can enjoy this classic skateboarding title. You can play Skate or Die! with just an NES game console and a classic Nintendo controller. The game does not require any additional Nintendo accessories such as NES Advantage joysticks or Power Pads. However, if you want to play the game in multiplayer mode, you must have additional Nintendo controllers. To accommodate more than two players, you also need one or more NES Four Score devices. Skate or Die! for NES features 8 bit graphics and an exciting musical score by Rob Hubbard. This version of the game tailors the soundtrack to the console’s Ricoh 2A03 sound chip. Whether you enjoy classic NES games or you are a fan of skateboarding, you can purchase this game for your retro console library.
