Get your skis on, get down to Rodney's ski store and put your name down for the sassiest set of snow sports in history, previously seen on PC only. Snowball blast is a sort of Operation Wolf, but you get to splat a field full of kinds (and the occasional penguin) with snowballs. Acro Aerials is a crazy ski-jump stunt affair with eleven crazy twists and flips to try.

Innertube Thrash is a sort of cut-down Toobin' in which you and a mate have to try to be the first to reach the other end of an ice chasm while trying to puncture your opponent's toob. Skiing down (and off) cliffs is the idea of Downhill blitz, but any stunts you can manage bestow bonus points. Top fun, though, is the Snowboard Half-Pipe, in which you snowboard down a trench, swinging from wall to wall, and performing unbelievable gyrations under the critical gaze of Rodney.

Graphics aren't as good as you would have expected from a C64, and the music borders on "dismal" (surely not, Rob Hubbard!), but the gameplay is OK fun on the whole so Ski And Die is worth checking out.
