Skate or Die!

the same.

What I really got this strong sense of was the game Skate or Die.

Now, of course, there's other games similar to this, but you know how in Skate or Die you're presented with the map and then you move to the different sections and then once you get to that section, it blows up into its own little world until you leave and then it reloads that overhead map again where you would move to another area.

The concept is very similar to that, although I think this game predates Skate or Die on the Commodore 64.

I have to fact check that.

But that was the idea.

die predates all of them, but that goes games were kind of,

Yeah, Skate or Die.

And then like Skate or Die.

And like, what is it? Something surf design.

And then it was like, oh geez.

Yeah.

Skate or Die.

It was Skate or Die, yes, uh, Skate or Die.

State of Emergency, was that a PS1 game or a PS2? I'm, I'm, you know, my, my senior I'm afraid.

It would've been PS...

But Fast Eddie's is different.

Fast Eddie's, it's a lot like Skate or Die or one of those games where you are inside of Fast Eddie's pool hall.

And, uh, you see the four different tables that are available to you.

You see there, uh, uh, you see like, for example, the British billiards table doesn't have pockets.

Uh, there was an arcade at the skate park.

And the last game that had been released up to that moment was Skate or Die for Commodore 64.

[laughs]

So we're, we're years past that and- We were coming into home consoles more now.

Not Rob Hubel.

What's the guy who did Skate or Die? Ron Hubel.

Rob Hubbard.

Yeah, Rob Hubbard.

Right.

And I even worked with someone who was, uh, a programmer on Skate or Die, one of the games I played in the, one of the EA games I played in the eighties, um, a guy named David Bunch.

And I remember I used those, I opened the, you know, I looked at my old copy and I saw a picture of him and two other people and it was like, Oh, there

he is.
