Fall In Love With Snowboarding Games

By Marci Glover


Computer can imitate nearly everything in this world. One of the most notable things the computer has imitated is snowboarding games. It is now possible to play them on a PC and enjoy just like in the real world. This may sound fantastic but somebody who has played the games will agree that the fun that arises from playing them on a computer is very much comparable to that on real board and ground.

Further development in technology has made it possible for these games to be played even on iOS and android phones. This means that one can play them from anywhere; without necessarily having to look for a physical ground to snowboard. They can be played while travelling, lying in bed, relaxing in an open field or anywhere the player finds suitable.

However, the availability of these items is determined by seasons. They are not always available throughout the year, but are normally found in plenty during some months in the year. In other months, barely any of them will be found. Most notably, plenty of them are available from October, all the way to March. After this period, they normally tend to disappear from the market. Many of them were available for sale between the years 1999 and 2002.

Currently, there are many types of games under this genre. Common names in market include; Heavy Shreddin, Tommy Moes Winter Extreme; Skiing & Snowboarding, SSX 3, Winter Gold, SSX Tricky, Cool Boarders, Zap Snowboarding Trix, 1080 Snowboarding, Cool Boarders among others. They all use the same idea; snowboarding in their operations.

It has become a common trend for producers to come up with series of games based on the same ideas. An example is Cool Boarders. This is a series of games where one game develops on the ideas introduced by the preceding one. The first in this series was released in Japan in the month of August 1996, and arrived in Europe in January the year that followed. This first one paved way for Cool Boarders 2, 3, 4 and 2001.

They have been played in public recreation places for many years, and technology has only taken it to a new level. This type of activities has always been called arcade games. Initially, they were run through the coin-system, but currently, they have all been computerized. The arcade version of snowboarding employs a tangible snowboard rather than using joysticks.

The negative side of these activities is that they cause addiction in people who play them. People tend to only think about them at the expense of everything else. Some players have even forgotten attending school because of wanting to play them all the time. People should, therefore, engage in snowboarding during their free time, and not all the time.

Research has shown that children are fonder of these items as compared to adults. This might be because adults do not like playing computer plays, or are always busy doing other things, and have no time for playing. This conclusion was made after finding out that more children play them more than adults do which is so because children have more free time.
