Los que por el año 90 tenian Windows en sus casas recordaran con nostalgia el juego del que ahora os vamos a hablar. Se trata de SkiFree, uno de esos juegos simples y entretenidos con los que pasabamos horas intentando hacer puntuaciones estratosféricas. A penas teníamos controles para manejar a nuestro imparable esquiador, pero era lo suficientemente bueno como para picarnos y hacer competiciones familiares. En la versión que encontramos en el iPhone han sabido mantener la esencia del juego, así que podremos seguir disfrutando de Skifree en nuestro dispositivo preferido, con controles táctiles y además gratis. Disponible: AppStore Precio: Gratis Read More

Earlier this month, we were wowed by the release of Street Fighter for the iPhone, a graphically intense game with a complex control system and just this week, we were wowed again by the trailer for Chaos Rings, which has some of the most beautiful graphics we have seen on the iPhone.  So why would you be interested in SkiFree, a game that looks all of its 20 years old? SkiFree was originally included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows 3.1 back in the very early ’90s – along with other timeless classics such as Tetris and Pipe Dream – and it’s simplicity itself to play.  You control a skier skiing down a course littered with obstacles and jumps, gaining points according to style or achieving a goal in a set time. This iPhone version looks basically the same as it did all those years ago on your PC.  A Read More

Back in 1995 it seemed almost everyone had a windows computer, and one standard package in Windows ’95 was BOWEP, or Best of Windows Entertainment Pack. That game set will always be a classic with games like Chip’s Challenge, SkiFree, JezzBall, Pipe Dream, and one of the best Tetris clones ever.

The game looks and plays exactly the same, but rather than having to use the arrow keys to control your skier you get to use tilt. A lot is the same with the trees, and rocks to avoid, as well as the rainbow jumps to do all of the tricks to score big points. It’s a fun trip down memory lane for those that remember the game, but otherwise this Read More
