SSX

I was a huge fan of the 1080 snowboarding series.

1080! SSX Tricky.

You got another snowboarding.

Cool Borders.

These are good.

1080 snowboarding is excellent.

And I loved SSX.

That was like a really cool PlayStation game when the PS2 first came out.

I know like Need for Speed Hot Pursuit from Criterion did that really well.

And EA just in general was doing that really well back in the day with like the SSX reboot and stuff like that.

But, yeah, that's where I remember putting away hours trying to beat my friend's time in, like, the 599XX in the Edinburgh track.

And, yeah, just getting very competitive.

Fire away.

Okay, the question that we have is the song Gorilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine was featured in which famous video game franchise? Was it A, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, B, SSX, C, Grand Theft Auto, or D, Need for Speed?

You're listening to Zed Games.

My name is Zara and with me in the studio this episode is Aiden and Tom.

But before we get into all of that, we presented a trivia question to our listeners.

Could you please reveal the answer?

Yes, so the question was, the song Gorilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine was featured in which famous video game franchise? The options were A, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, B, SSX, C, Grand Theft Auto, and D, Need for Speed.

And the answer was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Maybe in your imagination it does, but not reality.

Yeah, and I think, you know, that's quite clear to kind of explain that, you know, I always used to play SSX tricky and I always thought I was going to be an incredible snowboarder.

I've never stepped on a snowboard and nor would I ever.

But I think having that sense of reality is, you know, where it needs to be.

But what I did see is roughly 80% of Andorra's GDP is generated by tourism, mainly skiing.

So SSX on tour was the first amazing SSX.

It was the first amazing game in the amazing SSX series that had skiing in, not just snowboarding.

Now, as we've just heard, Andorran's bloody love a bit of skiing.

Yeah.

As we have said.

So, how many SSX games can you name? There are six.

No idea, mate.

Yep.

Which every time I hear that song, I think of SSX tricky, the video game, which is kind of

like the vibe is a little bit there for me too with this.

Yep.

Great pick.

I'm going to take SSX Tricky.

Probably never heard of it.

When PlayStation 2 came out, someone asked a question about like the feeling of a new console.

be the PlayStation 2.

And it was.

And then the game wasn't SSX Tricky, but it was SSX, which is, I'm pretty sure if you look it up, I haven't looked it up, but it was like one of the main games that launched with the PlayStation 2.

Because PlayStation 2 was like, okay, this is like a serious

De

SSX.

SSX Tricky.

Ey, loco.

Loco.
