SkiFree

Amongst ye who are of elder years, some may indeed recall SkiFree, a sporting diversion launched in the year 1991, as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack. And lo, it reappears, revived in this novel iteration, directly accessible for your amusement within your very browser. SkiFree doth serve as a casual, single-player simulator of sport, wherein the participant doth employ either keyboard or mouse to guide a skier across a white expanse, which doth represent snow upon a mountainside. The objective of this pastime is to descend an unending incline whilst evading various impediments (such as trees, stumps, fellow snowboarders, and the like). Should the participant transcend the two-thousand-meter threshold, the fearsome Abominable Snowman shall manifest and give pursuit, indeed consuming the player should it manage to apprehend him! The two-dimensional graphical presentation doth imbue the game with a rather fetching retro sensibility, yet the play itself remains most captivating, and one may well find oneself engaged for many an hour, striving to surmount one's extant record upon the slopes!
