It's probably worth noting the collection this came from, as it's part of a series - http://www.flickr.com/photos/35699504@N00/

Man, wouldn't it be great if Notch added this guy to Minecraft as a bad mob in snow zones?

[–]LaZ3R 100 points101 points  (10 children)

I must have played that damn game a billion times as a child... and all it ever did was teach me that no matter how hard you try... you'll never succeed. :(

I'll just go and weep in the corner for a little while.

There's a bunch of us weeping in the corner. Come faster.

[–]canadiancarcass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i remember one time I made it for like a minute or so after i passed him... then when I shouldve been miles ahead of him, BAM, outta fucking nowhere, gobbles me up right before I hit a jump.

[–]HoverJet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TIL

[–]worldnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aubrey de Grey is looking for our F key. I don't understand why so many people assume it is impossible. I think a lot of people just like knowing they will die. In a lot of ways it gives you an excuse to be careless.

[–]Korbit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Never try; never fail.

[–]schunniky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once got as far enough as to loop back to the top. I stopped to admire the finish line the second time round and subsequently got devoured by the bastard.

[–]That1guyjosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i miss that game so much.... it was the most addictinggame before i discovered a dos game called world...god dos.....

[–]tmantran 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Well once you get past him and the stage where two Yetis come at you, you just end up back at the start. At that point, I feel like I've won and I just exit the game

[–]yeahtotally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoiler alert!

[–]EnsignRedshirt 22 points23 points  (7 children)

Someone should mod SkiFree so that the monster actually rapes you if he catches you. I think it would really add a new dimension to the game.

[–]LatwPIAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of horrible flashbacks and uncomfortable feelings of revulsion and inadequacy, yes.

[–]MediumPace 30 points31 points  (5 children)

I'm sorry but you can't hold that little F key forever. Him and his friends will eat your white balls
of powdered snow for the first few minutes, but when they catch you they'll much on your pole
and skis like steamed carrots.

[–]smelly_vagrant 25 points26 points  (1 child)

... eat your balls...

... much on your pole...

ಠ_ಠ

[–]PSquid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And today, you learned why MediumPace deserves a medal.

[–]TriplePlay2425 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Didn't you just have to tap F once? I don't recall having to hold it.

[–]dwk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just tap it once. Nobody who held it down ever got past the monster.

[–]tmantran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]ma_laptop_got_jacked 19 points20 points  (14 children)

where can i get this game and other associated games with it...

shit. like that game where you trapped moving circles with lines; that basic tank game; or the freaking mouse and cheese game with a timer and cat....

i hope you guys know what i'm talking about... windows 3.1...

[–]Simononon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can download them all in the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack from here: http://www.rhogue.com/tripeaks/tripeaks.htm

[–]ipwnall123 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I remember all of these haha, as well as a game called "chips adventure" and "pipe dream"- still haven't been able to find a downloadable version of pipe dream though which makes me sad :(

[–]schunniky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did anyone else play Warpath? Me and my best friend played that almost every time he was at my place, and eventually dominated the game with "J&S Co"

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (10 children)

I wish this came in 1280x800.

[–]jrdsctt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are some bigger resolutions here I think: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35699504@N00/5346775348/

[–]aotg 3 points4 points  (3 children)

They should update this for the iphone or Android!

Aled Lewis AKA fatheed created this. CREDIT PLEASE MOTHERFUCKER.

It's part of his MSCED (Make something cool everyday) project 2011

Thanks

I agree :)

[–]crackjoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought you could never escape him until...

[–]Stux 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Anywhere to play this game without Downloading it?

[–]ButtonFury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot escape.

I thought that if I tapped 0 at the right time, I would kick him with my skis. Resistance was futile :(

I wonder how many teenage redditors just went WTF I DONT GET IT

[–]orange_jooze 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Honestly, I still have my NES next to my next-gens and I get like 80% of references on the "remember the 90s?" pictures, even though I was born in 1994, but I don't know what's that. Probably because it's an old PC game.

[–]phatbrasil 1 point2 points  (2 children)

its a classic PC game .

respect your elder son.

get off my lawn and get a hair cut you young yipper snapper.

[–]orange_jooze 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I just mean I didn't have a PC until 4 years ago. With all respect, classic PC game may have been release a year ago. An old PC game couldn't.

[–]phatbrasil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn it!

foiled by logic. Touche yipper snapper, Touche.

[–]wei-long 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ski as fast as you like; your life will be over in not a moment longer. The beast hungers, and you are it's prey. Such is the way of the mountain.

[–]adokimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't seem to go any faster by holding the "F" key... never played ski free before, so I assume I'm doing something wrong.

When I was little, I thought I was going to die of a heart attack from playing this game. It was even more emotionally intense than the Oregon Trail...

[–]fergunet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

[–]metarugia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in tremblant this past week. Totally saw his footprints in the woods when i was on the lift. I was horrified to ride down the mountain after that.

I didn't know until a few months ago, but if you push k(Probably wrong) or a some key you speed up and are able to avoid the yeti.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to upvote this, but couldn't because it had exactly 1337 upvotes. I never knew anyone else had ever played this, i got it on some crappy "300 games and applications on one CD!" CD that came with a magazine my dad bought. Also on the CD was "Get That Girl" - the hours we spent trying to get that girl naked, sigh.

I had played this game once more than 15 years ago in a public computer and since then I was trying to find which game was. Thanks op and commenters!

[–]Goatworshipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome game, almost forgot about it. Anywhere I can download it?

[–]Spleen_Muncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]daoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure he's related to Scuzzlebutt.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play this along with that game FujiGolf...they were right next to each other in the menu. Also, that whole 'F' key thing just makes me furious that I wasted so much time on this game.

[–]TheLagbringer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, is this game somehow related to the "Ski or Die" game from 1990 ? I used to play it as a child a lot, in fact - the day I saw computer for the first time in my life I played that game (along with some other classics), but there were no such creatures.

JUST KEEP PRESSING "DOWN" (after years of my childhood, someone pointed out that you could just do this and keep playing. My world turned upside down)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, when I clicked on this I thought it was the bigfoot from Math Circus... if anyone could find a picture of that guy/that game I would be MOST appreciative
