A port of Skate or Die

Hop on your suped-up board and cruise into the wildest multi-event contest ever dreamed of by man or beast. Three of these twisted trials are cut from the concrete courses of pro competitions. Each pits you head to head with a friend, shooting ramps or racing downhill, while going for rock n' rolls, hand plants, aerials, rail slides and methods! Then blast into "Mad Max on Wheels", dueling to the death with Bionic Lester, the dirtiest dude in the jam and joust. And finally "Skate and Destroy", a challenge that'll turn you into a Samurai skater, karate chopping your way through a tough alley filled with thugs, trash and unmentionable traffic hazards. So squirt a little oil onto your ball bearings, and prepare to Skate or Die!

Skate or Die brings the thrill of skateboarding to the NES, but with some limitations. Landing tricks feels more about memorizing button presses than freestyle action, and the graphics are pretty basic. However, the different events like downhill racing and jousting keep things interesting, and the controls are responsive enough to pull off some gnarly moves once you get the hang of it. It's a fun nostalgia trip for old-school gamers, but newcomers might find it a bit clunky compared to modern skateboarding titles.

This game was pretty fun

I give Skate or Die a light 6!

Should've chose the latter.

I skated and I also died. 5/10

Loved to rent this as a kid but don’t recall if I ever played it properly. Not the best NES game out there but fun to give a try.
