Title: some old skateboarding computer game?
Post by: bob george on August 22, 2020, 01:33:01 AM: I'm not a gamer at all, this is just something that pops through my mind occasionally; there was this game on a site i used to go on in the early 2000s, i feel like it was a skate site like a magazine or a company page and on there was this real basic aerial view (i think) 8 bit-ish (i think) kind of game where you would skate around a neighbourhood like roads and footpaths and maybe sometimes there were cops or other hazards. it's obviously not that clearly memorable to me but it lingers for unknown reasons and sometimes i try to google it and i just never find anything.

crazy sentence up there. i'm pretty baked. let me know if you know <3

Post by: bob george on August 22, 2020, 05:54:24 PM: sorry, I should've mentioned that I know it's none of the games we are all aware of. it's like a more basic version of when you're skating around in 'skate or die'.

i didn't know 'paperboy' but when i look at screenshots of 'paperboy' it kind of looks similar. moreso than comparing what's in my brain to 'skate or die'.

thanks for trying thus far <3

When I had to use Firewire I had no issue with a random Firewire card off eBay, whereas my friend had to go through 3 before he found one that worked and even then it's a bit flaky. I will say that generally, if you looked for a used gaming PC around $300 you'd get better performance than an equivalent price point used Mac, then you'd just have to put a firewire card in there.

"Paper Boy", "Sk8 or Die" and "T&C Surf Designs" sum up childhood gaming experience.

Post by: busch on January 01, 2022, 04:38:13 PM: Was it that flash game on the tum yeto site? I think it was tum yeto anyways. If I remember you would bomb a hill and have to hit the space bar to ollie cop cars and manhole covers and stuff. I think you could powerslide to speed check too. Anyone remember that? Probably around the early 2000’s
