It's no Escape from Skateboard Mountain, but it will do in a pinch, I suppose.

The learning curve gets quite steep - I thought I was doing brilliantly until I overcooked it and fell into a hole. Good fun though.

You own a pop culture giftshop AND you think Atari 2600 sucked? For shame.

glenwood. I played it for hours, man, but when I go back to it, aside from the retro sentiment, its just boooring.
