This is great. I miss the pooping dog though. :)
Hahaha! I will get on it!

#42Twenty-nine comments and no one has posted the site of the author of the original SkiFree? http://ski.ihoc.net/ SkiFree was originally written for VAX/VMS on VT100 terminals. Scroll down that page to see a small animated GIF showing where abominable snow monsters come from.
Thanks for posting this :) it's interesting - Pirih has put he original game up for download as well as far more media one would expect. Great site. I hope he notices my port, it soils be amazing to get his feedback :)

#43Just realized you have to run the yeti into trees to keep them from eating you... Feels like a good moment for a facepalm.
Haha! This wasn't a feature in the I original but I thought it might add some balance to my version which was lacking some features which are useful for accruing points!

Wow this really brings me back, what was the name of the game with the bow and arrows? that was another favorite of mine "back in the day" Thanks for making this!
It was absolutely my pleasure :)
Was that bow and game one of those games where you defends against each other from either side of a valley?

#45Nice. I expect SkiFree to finally get a modder community after you complete this version. :-) Unfortunately, the player's movement seems to come to a halt every 14-15 m or so in Firefox 18.0.2 on Linux x86_64. That is not the case in Chromium 24.0.1312.56 on the same platform. Edit: there are also visible lines over and under the tall fir trees in Firefox: http://imgur.com/3wnXSqs .
Brilliant feedback thank you :) I get the same line issue in Mobile Safari but can't work out why without setting up debugging tools so maybe solving the issue in Firefox will help.

#46If you haven't tried this in mobile Safari or Chrome yet please do, it works surprisingly well!

I think I remember what you're talking about (pretty sure it was just called Bow and Arrow) and I think this is it: http://www.download-central.ws/Win16/Games/B/Bow-and-Arrow/

#48I'm glad the yeti has taste. It's not interested in snowboarders.

#49It's amazing how something as funny and non-scary as this monster could scare the hell out of me when I was a kid... I remember myself playing and almost getting a heart attack every time the monster showed up.
Re: SkiFree in the Browser
#50Some differences from the original: 1.) You can't press right twice to stop, then up repeatedly to climb. 2.) You can't press various arrow keys after jumping to do a trick pose that gives you extra points. 3.) There's only 1 degree of 'turning right', not two. Same w/ left.
4) There aren't those rock/?? things that when you hit turn into mushrooms/tombstones/??
5) There are no bare trees that catch fire when you hit them in flight.
6) You cannot jump by clicking the mouse.
