Background

John Brandon:

One of my favorite games as a kid was the original Cool Boarders game for PSX. I was also an avid snowboarder, so of course I had to make a snowboarding game.

I used some old stuffed animals I had as inspiration for the characters. The game is simultaneously basic, but possibly represents one of the best GM games my brother and I collaborated on. I was pretty proud of the way I created levels, by literally carving them out of a background of one block tall trees, and how this was semi-realistic to how a real ski mountain would create trails through a wooded mountain. Captain Mel the Pelican (advertised on the title screen) was never created. This game was worked on by both me and my brother.
