Ugh. Another game by Head Games, and this time it somehow performs even worse than the others I've reviewed.

Screw "can it run Crysis"! The *real* question for PC benchmarking should be "can it run Extreme Wintersports"! XD

Head Games is just another poorly-disguised subsidiary of LJN a la Wisdom Tree and Phoenix Games.
Was there a phenomenon back then where games just wouldn't run well no matter how decent of a PC you had? I remember having all kinds of troubles.

I remember on one of my installs of Windows 98 circa 1999 the computer would freeze whenever I launched a game requiring DirectX (i.e. any 3D game). However, if I ran Monkey Island (DOS game) first then DirectX games would run fine afterwards. Windows was filled with random bugs like that. Most likely caused by conflicting drivers. But before high-speed Internet getting drivers in any other version than the one that came on the floppy/CD when you bought your hardware was a real pain. So some games just wouldn't run. It wasn't really about how powerful the PC was, it was more about quirky compability issues. By no fault of your own or the machine you owned. Sometimes they didn't run just because.

Crysis is a meme, on Ultra, yes, on Low a 2006 PC can play it easily. The things is, these super low budget games do not have graphics that would justify it.

Watching you play this game, I noticed that it looked oddly familiar. Then I realized where I had seen it before: It turns out that HeadGames recycled the snowboarding component of this game for "Tech Deck Snowboarding", which was released the following year. Everything including the controls, fonts, and snowboarders, was rehashed for that game. How lazy could they be?
@LGR

Yep, that was a thing! There's even more to the story than that, it's amazing how many times this same basic game was recycled and re-released.

This video reminded of a non-garbage winter sports game, Supreme Snowboarding! Any chance of getting a video of that game? Thanks for your great content and have a happy new year!

didn't expect a reference to Gary Ridgeway ever in an LGR video! I sometimes forget that anything related to him went national, especially since I live in the area where he did the killings. (Green River Valley)
Man I used to love Extreme Boards and Blades. Maybe because of the Mtn. Dew logo? I think one of the (too many) Head Games games I had came with a demo of Remington Top Shot, and I actually liked that too. I was a dumb, dumb, dumb kid.
Do the bullriding one please, I've always been curious when I seen it working at a electronics store back in the day but never could do it lol.

hey LGR! I recently got my hands on an old nintendo with some games, and after toying with the games on the cartridges, I have some games that you might enjoy reviewing! They are: Bubsy 2, the first F-Zero, and The Lion King (that is the only thing said on the cartridge). If you notice this comment, please respond with a yes or no! Thanks and merry late Christmas!
this made my day. it's like seeing something I really wanted on sale for boxing day!
3:13 Wait, I thought we were playing snowmobiling. That thing was skating on JPEGs. The entire game should be called "Extreme JPEGsports" and have the user smoke some drugs before playing (considering what "K2" is (also) widely known as).
Does anybody remember Snowboard Kids for the N64? This is like that, but crappier.

Snowboard Kids is a bona-fide masterpiece compared to this one.

Of course there's no AI characters. Every AI character that went to apply for this job took one look at the game and went "Um... I'll just apply to be in GTA. Sure I can die, but it won't kill my career."
This is one of those awkward Windows 95 Voodoo card whatchamacallits. Did you try running it through Glide Wrapper? I had similar problems with Klingon Honor Guard that the wrapper fixed nicely. Also, as a side note, have you played Head Games' Quake II expansion, Juggernaut?
LOL! Love these reviews, that was a lot of fun mate.

I remember playing a demo of this game. It was featured on a CD distributed with the PC Games CD magazine in late 1998 or early 1999. Being 9 years old at the time, I remember being amazed by it. Oh well, times change.
Keep up the awesome work, Clint!

That's the original "Ys" by one of the very first Japanese RPG developers, Falcom. Ys is an action-RPG series that started off with a simple, but enjoyable run-into-the-enemies-until-they-explode combat system, and has steadily evolved over the years, never having lost that initial focus on fun. It's still going today, with Ys 8 likely coming out in the west next year. If nothing else, listen to some of the music from the series-it's legendary.
This was absolute gold and my new favorite LGR episode. Warning, do not eat or drink while watching this one...

Another Head Games review! Wow, how many games did they release? I'm surprised on how bad these games are and how they ever got past QA testing. Also, I get to hear one of my favorite LGR running gags. "Practice MoOOoode."
Lazy Game Reviews Would it be worth doing a video on the rare DOS games that supported hardware acceleration or 16 bit color? I'm sure you have everything needed for high color, 3Dfx, S3D, Speedy3D, etc. x3
My family actually snowmobiled when I was growing up and ONLY bought Arctic Cat stuff. I think we owned everything advertised in the pro shop LOL.
I'm shocked that no one noticed that the clerk in the pro shop was still in the neutral modeling position
what made it crash on the other four machines? did these guys also make an extreme watersports game?
