well, I have had a surprisingly high amount of people pm me about the game from my avatar. So I thought I would share the wealth and post a link about it for anyone interested. Even if you don't think you would be interested, I suggest checking it out, its a pretty good read. Anyways, here it is:

I remember the many hours wasted as a kid playing Skifree during my recesses at school.

[Blanka789]

Yes! Now I can play it again.

Skifree!!!, i remember playing that PC game many years ago in my old PC, also at Computer classes at school :P, congratulations for the website dedicated to this classic. Maybe you want to do a link exchange or something (pm me!). By the way, i have a question: is was a shareware game originally?, i couldn´t remember that little detail...

Holy Crap, Skifree RULES! It's pure genious really. Ahhhh Windows 3.1. I loved your Windows shareware games. Your Ultima clones, mindless games like Jezzball and Skifree.

I have TONS of 3.5" floppies somewhere with just windows shareware on it. A few CDs too.

Those were the days.......

also, just to clear the confusion before it escalates, this is not a link made by me. It took me forever to find it though, so I figured I'd share it wil everyone. That, and tons of people were pm'ing me about it

Ah man! I remember that ski game! I used to play it along with another game, a guy who collects computer chips, on windows 95! They kicked ass at the time! Anyone, please let me know what was the other games name 'cause I've forgot it! x_x

[johno590]

Yes I remember this game, we used to play it in school, everyone seemed to play it. Pretty addicting and fun back in the day.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT IS!!!! How did you remember it?! Did you used to play a hell lot of it too?? Thanks for reminding me

[Rob of the Sky]

Ski Free rocks. I remember playing it on the first computer that my parents had. Ahhh memories. My favorite part of Ski Free was when the snow monster ate my skier. That was hillarious.

I remember Ski Free, I always tried to avoid getting killed at the end and later found out it wasn't possible

I remember all those good old games. Heck I still play them from time to time today (although I did play them a ton back when)

[scooterb23]

I need to find Fuji Golf, that was my game back in the old days...

[Jorpho]

There was also a GBC port that is apparently mostly forgotten.

That snowman sure is a terrifying thing... As I recall, there are ways to cheat to get past him. See http://web.archive.org/web/200104101...at/SKIFREE.HTM .

it is possible to get past the beast apparently, you can tap down to go faster. the first one isnt too bad to get past, but i havent got past the second dude.

hes hungry.

that awesome link says f.

.... im gonna get me some skifree!

[Drexel923]

I played so much of that game when I was younger.

I was actually going to ask you if there was a version that could be played now...so thanks for the link.

[cyberfluxor]

SkiFree came in a Microsoft Entertainment Pack with Windows 3.1x

I know this cause I still have the discs and use to play them ALL the time! It was when AOL was cool, the games Wolf3d, Warcraft I, Descent, and Blood Bath were the awesome thing to play, and Ninja Turtles the cartoon no one missed! For the older or geekier people: Adventure Quest, King's Quest, or all the other many Quest games were also big.

Oh, how about this. Who knows my Avatar?

[Blanka789]

Your avatar is from the AWESOME Reboot cartoon! Man, I wish I could find those on DVD...

I've only seen Season 3 and the final movie available on DVD. Season 3 is available on 4 discs (sold seperately). I'd love the first 2 seasons.
