Personal review

"Slalom" is Rare's first game for a Nintendo console and one of the first games that were not released in Japan. A simple looking and playing skiing game where you have to race down a mountain and make it to the finish in time to get to the next of all in all 24 courses. What makes this game interesting is its very fast speed without a noticeable framedrop. Just don't expect a realistic sports simulation here.

Official description

The freezing wind cracks against your face. The tension mounts. Suddenly you’re off! Speeding through the gates on one of Nintendo’s 24 snow-covered runs. Welcome to SLALOM! Where you feel every bump, every jump, every death-defying turn, just like in a real slalom race! Along the way you’ll dodge other competitors, trees, sledders – even snowmen – as you speed down mountains like Snowy Hill, Mount Nasty and Steep Peek in a heart-pounding race against the clock. Challenge the moguls and execute trick jumps. You’ll find SLALOM just as thrilling and dangerous as the real thing!
