![]() Like everyone else I tried my hand at Skateboarding, but I was horrendous at it. Tony Hawk became a household name, kids everywhere were learning to skateboard, and the whole extreme sports scene was thrust into the limelight. In the late 90’s – largely thanks to the games – the sport became something of a phenomenon. The THPS games are arcade-style takes on the world of Skateboarding. Of course, not all of you are ancient, so let’s step back a little. Vicarious Visions have done a stellar job of not only capturing the feel of the PS1 and Dreamcast titles, but have somehow made them feel just as fun to play in this new incarnation as they ever were back then. ![]() This is the exact feeling that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1&2 gave to me recently, despite it being a full on remake. Occasionally though, one will still feel as slick and fun as it did back then, and I find myself slipping back in to the groove almost without realising. I often look back over my collection that has amassed over the years with a great fondness, though too often actually playing them doesn’t quite live up to the memories. What this does allow me though is to be able to whip out the rose-tinted goggles from time to time and remind everyone just how good the old days were. It’s something that I’ve made note of before, and sadly despite willing with all my might, it’s not something that is likely to change anytime soon.
