I own this game for Atari Lynx and don't think I even played it for a combined minute.

Had this game on the Master System (the version shown in the pictures) 30+ years ago. I liked it then, but it ikely wouldn't hold up now.

I also wrote a guide for a Brazilian version of this game about 10 years ago as part of a joint project to have guides for all Master System games. It only included two of the six events for some reason. It was an easy guide to write, due to only being part of a game, but you would feel ripped off if you actually paid cash for it.

That said, as a kid Flying Disk was my favourite event, as I was really good at it, Foot Bag my least favourite, as I found the controls inconsistent.

Am I the only one who's never heard of this game? It feels like a weird hole in my knowledge of gaming history

I still have this on Master System.
It's good to see there is some love for this game.
I'm not sure how it holds up today for anyone new to it. =/

Here's my take:

Half Pipe - Once you get the timing down pat, it's ok.
Foot Bag - Hated this as a kid, because I sucked at it. Now, I kinda like it.
Surfing - Loved this! You could really show off!
Skating - This was fun and colourful.
BMX - I crashed too much. Not one of my favourites.
Flying Disk - This is really funny and intense. Probably my #2.

Best: Surfing
Worst: BMX
