Super Skateboardin'

"What a great game this is!"

This is Super Skateboardin', a game (a great one, may I add) for the Atari 7800. Sadly, the Atari 7800 went dead and this great, great game became underground and no longer remembered. However, I have played the game before and decided to write a review of this great, great classic.

Story - 10/10
What an awesome story. You must play this game. Alright, your daddy owns a huge Factory with different rooms and levels. Then one night, he forgot to turn off the lights on the Factory, so being a faithful Son of his, you decide to help by switching it all off. What made it good is that, you do it by riding a Skateboard.

Control - 10/10
Awesome control. All you need is a few minutes of playing into the game and you will get hold of the control quite well. The controlling of the character is quite easy. The direction buttons to move around and another for jumping. It's really easy you like the control so much, you probably fall in love with it. Definitely deserve a 10. (if only I able to give it a 11..)

Gameplay - 10/10
Oh my God! Totally awesome. This is the game of the Gods. You move around with the direction keys, which is not only easy, but fun as the game's respond really quick and another button to jump upwards to reach a lightbulb to switch it off. You need to go through ventilation shafts to reach other areas of the place which is only accessible through them. Which is great as this is rather challenging and provides hours and hours of non stop fun. You should play this game. I promise you, you can never stop. Deserve a big 10.

Graphics - 10/10
What would I have to say? AWESOME! This game is like the Final Fantasy X of the Atari 7800. Its base on pixels but the graphics are very sharp and clear, enabling a fun play and amaze those who pass by you and saw you playing the game. You won't have a problem of skippy graphics, as the programmers of this game design the game in such a way that you won't notice a single skip. Really sharp, smooth graphics. 10/10

Sound - 10/10
Really, really, awesome sound. You can hear sounds coming out of generators which is really nice and theres even sound of when you jump off the board to reach a lightbulb. Its really good sound, considered being in a old console like the Atari 7800. It is really clear then even a old screw up TV would still make it as if your listening to a soundtrack of Final Fantasy 10. I give the soundtrack, a 10 over 10. Totally deserve it.

Replay Value 10/10
If you manage to complete the game, then you can do the possible - play it again! Yes thats right. Because the game is soooo fun, it doesn't need those minigames or side quests like alot of other good games, so playing it again will make you enjoy a very, very awesome game. 10/10

Buy or Rent
You got to remember, that this game is very old. So if you manage to find a copy, get it as soon as possible. Its a rare find and the only other way to get it is through bidding on Ebay, which may reach up to a few Thousand dollars. Good luck if you get this game.

Last words: I give this awesome game a overall score of 10/10. Yes a game that gets it perfect. Remember, you should play this game, its really great.
