Alpine Surfer (World, AF2 Ver.A)
Namco • 1996


Carve your way down the slopes in Namco’s Alpine Surfer, a fast-paced skiing game released in 1996 for two players. Take on challenging downhill courses and compete against a friend to see who can achieve the fastest time, or choose gate racing for a more structured test of skill. Throughout each run, execute aerial tricks to earn points and boost your score while an energetic soundtrack of rock and alternative music provides the backdrop. Alpine Surfer offers two distinct courses and two difficulty levels, providing varied gameplay experiences. Players control their skier using a joystick to navigate twists, turns, and jumps, aiming for speed and precision. Mastering air tricks is key to maximizing points and staying ahead of your opponent in head-to-head competition. The game runs on Namco's Super System 22 hardware, offering detailed graphics and responsive controls. A secret character can be unlocked by performing a specific button sequence at the mode selection screen, adding an extra layer of discovery for dedicated players.
