Personal review

This was my favourite c64 game by far. I was sat in crummy Manchester playing the game. but i truly wanted to be cool and play these sports for real. it had the greatest mix of extreme sports ever.
Surfing, BMX, Skateboard, Rollerskating and Hockey sack (not quite as extreme). But every single event in this game could have been released as a game on it's own.
10 out of 5.
