Skitchin'

Skitchin' is a video game in the racing / driving genre developed by Electronic Arts Canada and published by Electronic Arts, Inc. originally released in 1994. It is currently playable on Genesis.

Skitchin', released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis, was a highly popular and unconventional game that combined elements of both skating and racing. Developed by EA Games, Skitchin' allowed players to take on the role of a rebellious skater who competes in intense races while "skitching" or holding on to the back of moving vehicles. With its cutting-edge graphics, catchy soundtrack, and innovative gameplay, Skitchin' quickly became a fan favorite among Sega Genesis users.

The game featured an arcade-style gameplay that was fast-paced and action-packed. Players had the ability to perform various skateboarding tricks such as flips, grinds, and wall rides while racing against opponents on various tracks. As the game progressed, the tracks became more challenging, and the opponents became tougher, keeping players on their toes and providing a satisfying level of difficulty. Additionally, the game allowed players to customize their skater's appearance, adding an extra layer of personalization to the gameplay.

One of the most exciting aspects of Skitchin' was the ability to skitch or hitch a ride on the back of vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. This added a unique and thrilling element to the gameplay, as players had to time their jump and grab onto the vehicles at just the right moment. Skitchin' also featured a multiplayer mode where players could compete against each other, adding even more excitement and intensity to the game.

The game's graphics were praised for their high quality and attention to detail. The skater's movements were fluid and realistic, and the tracks were visually appealing with vibrant colors and dynamic backgrounds. The game's soundtrack also added to the overall experience, featuring a mix of rock, punk, and heavy metal music that perfectly complemented the rebellious and edgy theme of the game.

Despite its initial success, Skitchin' was not without its controversies. The game's rebellious theme and depictions of reckless behavior were criticized by some, with concerns raised about the game's potential negative influence on younger players. However, these controversies did not stop Skitchin' from becoming a cult classic and a must-have game for Genesis users.
