About Horatio Goes Snowboarding
Infinite State Games present "Horatio Goes Snowboarding" - an arcade game where you hire a board, go snowboarding, avoid serious injury, rinse and repeat! It's our homage to retro skiing and winter sports games from the past - no story; just pick up and play pure arcade thrills.

You'll start every new game with a bunch of money, and the urge to snowboard. First you'll have to hire a board en-route to the helicopter which will take you to the slopes. Avoid traffic and make a dash to the end! Don't forget to pick up a board before you get to the helicopter though. That would be embarrassing...
Once the chopper has taken you to the top of the mountain, you'll start your downhill descent into chaos through increasingly tricky randomly generated courses. Rack up points by going through slalom gates - the more you pass without a miss the higher your score multiplier will increase. Just look out for that Yeti...
At the end of the course there's a finish line you can go through for an extra cash bonus. Then back to the helicopter you go!
If you get into an accident through a face-plant on the slopes or a hit and run on the road, you'll be patched up in the nearby hospital to the tune of $100. Run out of money, and it's game over.

What's a score attack arcade game without leaderboards? Compete against players all around the globe to be the raddest boarder on the mountains! You're gonna have to keep that chain up and your face out of traffic to make it to the top.

✦ AI summary
Players praise Horatio Goes Snowboarding as an addictive, fast-paced arcade game with gorgeous visuals and an excellent soundtrack that captures classic retro gameplay with modern polish. The risk-reward scoring mechanics and flow-state gameplay keep players coming back for repeated attempts despite the game's difficulty, with many describing it as a hidden gem that's easy to pick up but hard to put down. The main takeaway is that this is a straightforward, fun arcade experience that successfully reimagines an old ZX Spectrum game for contemporary audiences at a low price point.
I had a little bit of an obsession with this one! A slick 3D arcade game to get you [b]pumped the frick up[/b] for [b]serious business[/b] in the mornings! Don't get flattened crossing to the chopper! Board between all the flags in a course for [i]ultimate[/i] points! Have near-misses with trees and totally [i]wreck the sh*t[/i] of other globular skiers for style points! Don't let that nasty yeti with the fruity little blonde puff send you tumbling!5 found this helpful
[h1]Before I played Horatio Goes Snowboarding, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]2 found this helpful
This game is amazing. It might not look like it but I promise it is. It's a remake of an old crappy ZX Spectrum game but this guy actually made it fun. It's addictive as hell and hard to stop playing.1 found this helpful
This game is a hidden gem! It's one of those games where you can get in a "flow state" if you play it enough because it's fast paced, but not too fast paced to be overwhelming. Endless mode is awesome too if you don't like the frogger-esque part of the game. Can't recommend this game enough especially for the super low price
This is a simple, gorgeous-looking twist on retro gameplay with a superb soundtrack (as usual for ISG games). If you're of a certain age and remember a certain ZX Spectrum character/game, this will be easy to pick up. What this adds over the retro version is gorgeous graphics, and a fiendish risk/reward mechanic to scoring. Another great title from ISG.
I suck at this game, yet I find me going for yet another round. It's straight forward classicarcade game play. If that's something for you, give it a try-.
