Does anyone remember the skiing game with terrible graphics whose only control was the space bar? Where is it these days?

- sp332 6y agoWas it one of the Yetisports games? Snowboard Freeride?
- codethief 6y agoOh wow, Yetisports! I haven't heard that name in at least 10 years! Speaking of very popular and very well-made flash games with winter/Christmas setting, this reminds me of Orisinal Winterbells[0]. I still can't believe how many hours I spent playing that game.

- jpcooper 6y agoThat wasn’t the one I was thinking of, sadly. The graphics were even worse.

- jpcooper 6y agoInteresting, but it was native Flash and second-person perspective.
- interestica 6y agoWhat is "second person perspective"?
- jpcooper 6y agoIt’s when the camera closely follows the back of the protagonist.
- kilroy123 6y agoOh man, this takes me back.
- codethief 6y agoAhh, that reminds me of another one where one was (more or less) steering a stick man on a sled. More precisely, one would create custom slopes for him, which he would then follow automatically after hitting "Play". The goal was to prevent him from falling or crashing. There was even a YouTube video of a guy who must have spent hours creating slopes, which the stick man would then follow to the precise melody of some classical piece of music. Truly epic. Does anyone remember the name? UPDATE: Line rider! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcBn04IyELc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcBn04IyELc
