I can tell you it sucks. Or so I think. It's essentially a very short skateboarding course, and n even shorter surfing segment. Anyone who payed $50 for it back in the day did not get nearly enough bang for the buck. I'm pretty sure LJN published it.

This game was released in February of 1988.

Check out my feedback at GameTZ
I loved that game when I was a kid. Sure there's not much to it, but it's probably got more depth than your average atari game, and the audio/visuals are pretty good for the period. I still play it occasionally, although often just to laugh at the lame sound the seagulls make.
Gary's description of the game is accurate, though. There's also a sequel-->Thrilla's Surfari. I tried it for a couple minutes no too long ago. I was really bad at it and didn't feel too motivated to keep going with it. It seems to lack the character/charm that the first one had, despite the fact that it's a more complex game.

I played that game a ton when I was 7, but I also played the hell out of any garbage game you put in front of me (Deadly Towers, Volleyball, etc). I didn't discriminate. T&C hasn't aged well and I can't see ever playing it again except for a cheap laugh.

I only played it for a short while, but I found the sequal to be a much better game. It's a very different kind of game though. It has levels, weopons, bosses and such. People who like the orginal may not like it much because the only thing that makes it a sequal at all is that you control that gorilla. Beyond the character, it's a very different experience. Since I got bored of the original after about 2 hours, the "sequal" was refreshing to me.

T&C is awesome. The sequel sucks. End of story.
