Ski Free is a game that shipped out default with Windows 95'
Created by Chris Pirih
There are several things to do in this game:
Enter the Free-style course (with the objective of collecting "style points" by doing flips, going over moguls, etc)
Enter the Slalom course (with the objective of completing an opened slalom course in the shortest time possible)
Enter the Tree Slalom course (similar to the Slalom course, but longer, with narrower-spaced flags, and with trees interspersed)
Enter none of the courses, and just "ski free" (the whole point of the game!)
this seems a bit boring, but its fun when you have nothing else to do.
there are some secret things about it:
Abominable Snow Monsteronce you complete whatever choice you wanted, the game just doesnt play forever, the Yeti eats you. the yeti who chases and attempts to eat the skier. From that point on, the player can ski until the monster catches them. its hard to not be eaten, but on rare occasions you can "out-run" him.
The yeti appears at exactly the 1985m mark and pursues the player downhill at high speed.
Further down the hill (20–30 m) another monster also gives chase, but uphill. An angled route while playing in "fast" mode avoids both of them, but afterwards the distance starts counting down from −2000 m.
The world loops around on itself, and everything outside the boundary of the piste triggers the yeti.
However, if the player returns within the invisible border, the yeti stops chasing the player. As i said earlier, it is possible to escape the Snow Monster by traveling another 2000 m from the point which the monster gives chase, creating a loop and starting over from the beginning.
One way to evade the monster is to go directly left or right in fast mode. He is right behind you, but cannot catch you unless you hit an obstacle.
Other snow monsters appear when the player travels 125m upwards from the beginning or 500m to the left or right.
Now for some pictures
