News Games Lemonade Forum Help Links Amiga Forever Sitemap Privacy Policy. We start in Hollywood. With the skateboard the player has to proof his ability by showing reckless manoeuvres in the half pipe. Following, we go to San Francisco. When doing the trend sport foot bag, you need to keep a small ball in the air using all parts of your body except the hands. Next you go down to the beaches of California. During skating you cross an exciting obstacle course. Then it is the turn of the supreme discipline of all beach competitions the surfing. In search of the perfect wave the player glides along the wave with a surfboard. In the next discipline one shows stunts with the BMX bike on a country track. The last event is frisbee and takes place in the beautiful Yosemite. The sponsors to choose from are not invented but they really existed, which for sure hoped for a higher degree of popularity and a better image by financing this game.And how could you do this easier and nicer than in the half pipe. You have a maximum of 90 seconds time to do the most and most spectacular stunts that are possible in this discipline. When doing high jumps the turns are very hard to manage, while doing turns in slow speed is easier. Too long or too short turns lead to a fall, the same happens when trying to turn into the wrong direction. Be careful when you fall off the board 3 times, the game is early over, which will happen often to untrained players as half pipe is really tricky.The aim of the game is to hold a small ball as constantly as possible in the air and to do tricks, which give extra points, for 90 seconds. You can play the ball with the head, knee or foot and the heel, turn and perform lots of funny wrenches. Two additional possibilities to get some points are the low flying seagull, which sometimes flies over the screen and which you can plant a nice hit on;o. And if you jockey the ball over the edge of the screen, it will be thrown back and you get bonus points for the direct catch of this throwin. Especially with several players foot bag is a guarantee for laughs, as the more people will watch and crack silly comments, the less tricks will work. It was never easier to make a fool of oneself.

  • Digital Press Issue
    Fifty II. Editor’s BLURB by Dave Giarrusso DIGITAL e had a lot of big plans for our 50th issue (“DP# 50: Wfi fty!” just in case your short term memory functions a bit like mine does as of late) and fortunately, most of ‘em made it in. UNfortunately, due to time and space constraints, and a mischievious orange tabby by the name of “Pickles”, a scant few of ‘em got left on the cutting room fl oor. The one portion of the 50th issue that we (okay, actually John) were working really hard on was the “alumni moments” section - a section devoted to all the PRESS game designers and artists who shaped what we’ve come to call our favorite pasttime. As you can probably imagine, it was a big undertaking - too big to make it into the pages of issue #50. DIGITAL PRESS # 52 MAY / JUNE 2003 BUT - guess what? John kept nagging everyone in his most convincing voice Founders Joe Santulli and eventually, with nothing but the most polite coercion, managed to round Kevin Oleniacz up the troops. In fact, everyone had such a blast working with John that we wound up with tons more material than we had originally anticipated having. Editors-In-Chief Joe Santulli Dave Giarrusso Which brings us back to THIS issue - the brainchild of John “Big Daddy” and “I’ll Senior Editors Al Backiel get to it when I get to it” Hardie.
