Hey everybody,
So I have this friend, and she begged and begged me to get a Power Pad becuase she told me that she loved this game as a kid and she wanted to play it with me.
Now, the thing is, there are only a few games that work on the Power Pad. Those being:

* Athletic World
* Dance Aerobics
* Short Order/Eggsplode
* Stadium Events
* Street Cop
* Super Team Games
* World Class Track Meet

I think that's right.
Now, I was showing her that list of games, and screenshots from each one, and she said that none of the games listed were the games that she played, so I have no idea which one it could be. I'm hoping that one of you guys would know what she's talking about.
Here is her exact description of what she remembers of the games:
its a tarzan dude who's on a raft who's going down a river... and there are obstacles to go around... like vines to go under.... logs to go around that stick out from the sides of the river and ones you have to jump over.

Thanks,
Jumpman Jr.

Dude, that game is T+C Surf Designs and it just uses a normal controller.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, she says that is not the game.

Edit - After looking through some screenshots, Thrilla's Surfari (T & C 2), looks similar to what she is describing. I have yet to confirm this, though.

The "Tarzan Dude" part you were describing sounds like the surfing part of T&C Surf Designs, but the rest of your boldfaced description doesn't describe the first T&C at all. I haven't played a lot of Thrilla's Safari, but I know it starts off with Thrilla on a skateboard going through a forest type setting.

Hope that helps.

If T&C II doesn't fit the bill, the description kinda reminds me of Toobin.

Origionaly, that's what I said to her and she said that it "definitnely wasn't that game."
I'll try to show her some more screenshots of Super Team Games and maybe she'll finally believe me.

It sounds a lot like the mini-game in Athletic World. The only difference is that you were not Tarzan. You were a skinny boy/man who was on a raft and you had to go side to side to avoid rocks in the river and you had to duck under vines or something and jump over some other obstacles, all while floating down the river on your power pad... er, I mean raft.

im pretty sure its athletic world too....from her discription it sounds like its the part where your standing on the raft and to crouch down i think you had to put your hands on the 2 PP buttons in from of you plus the 2 you are standing on
