The Evolution of Retro Skiing & Snowboarding Games

I'm coming back to this to post another 2600 game that I just found out was made that is also about skiing.  This game is done in a first-person perspective, which is impressive for the 2600.  The game is Mogul Maniac!

I posted the A8 version of this on the previous page, I just found about the 2600 version today too when I saw it on Video Game Critic. I believe it's a prototype that was never released.

Apparently it was released with some special controller called The Joyboard.  The game and the Joyboard can be found on Ebay.

Oh wow! I stand corrected! That looks incredibly cool!

That controller certainly looks quite appropriate for this game.  I wonder if it also worked with the A8 version.

Same joystick hardware so most likely!

Perhaps they sold the game with the controller for the A8 as well.  The A8 version, of course, looks nicer than the 2600 version but that comes as no surprise.
