What’d you think?: Ah, damn. I was hoping to beat this one. In a game where you can’t strictly “lose” or “die”, I set my guidelines for failure in such a way that I had hoped would let me complete a game I thought I had all but mastered years ago. If one of the 2-minute sessions had elapsed and I hadn’t either completed any of the ten stage goals or collected at least one piece of cash strewn about the level in that timeframe, then I would lose. If I completed a competition and failed to podium, I would lose. With these lenient standards, I was confident I’d skate my way to the last contest in Mexico, and not fail until some point in the 100%ing process. Tragically, too many years had passed since I played the game and I didn’t remember where all the [object]s were for all the do [trick] in or around [object] challenges, and this run ended prematurely in the 4th stage, New York.
YouTube Link: I’m actually pretty glad I don’t have this one, because I’m really embarrassed by how poorly I did, and because the music in the game would probably cause it to get a copyright flag anyway.
