airborne31582 0 #1 February 27, 2004 So I was looking in the used video games bin at Blockbuster. Came across "Skydive Extreme" for 2.99. Figured what the hey, it's 3 bucks, it's about skydiving, it can't be that bad right? I'm about ready to kick my own ass for buying this game, I could have bought like a weeks worth of mac and cheese. Anyone else come across this game? Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airborne31582 0 #8 February 27, 2004 See, thats my usual plan, spend the least amount of money on things I don't need such as food and Maxim magazine, means more money for new chute and jump tickets. I can eat like a king for 10 bucks a week. Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #11 February 27, 2004 Save up some more and get "Pilotwings" for the Nintendo 64. I have that, and it is entertaining enough that I can still play the levels I've finished and have fun. The skydiving consists of doing RW points, and then opening and doing a flare onto an accuracy circle. That part is exceedingly difficult, because your field of view sucks. The absolute best part of the game is "Birdman." When you've succeeded at enough levels, you get access to being able to fly with wings attached to your arms. You can fly on any of the landscapes used on the other levels of the game. There is no scoring: it's just about the freedom of flying. The game has some other fun parts as bonus levels. The standard parts are Hang Glider, Jetpack, and ultralight (powered kite). The bonus levels are skydive, human cannonball (that's a blast), jump boots (springy-loaded boots for giant leaps) and Birdman. I've had the game for three years and I still play it.-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KawiZX900 0 #12 February 27, 2004 pilot wings is a P.O.S. too. they should have a PST sim game sponsored by Go Fast or a Red Bull game with their fleets of aircraft and world skydiving teams with some wicked real time rendering and a Mature rating including compound fractures and all that shtuff you don't want to think about and some bangin hip hop and punk rock soundtrack. ohhh yeah don't forget secret base jump levels with living legends and guest special legend appearences to stoke the coals. hybrid it with a 90 second kill kitten round with further guest appearences by top notch models and a radio controlled plane napalm round with famous movie quotes. and chicks kissing chicks. don't forget that.... annd ummm.... if anybody steals this idea before I get to PS2's door with it I will sick the lawyer from Blade 2 on you! I am so serious. Cannon and Bonehead could get in the action and you could have somebody taking a skid on they lid... pond swoops. taking out formations... mals. customizing rigs and downsizing like grand turismo 3. beer sposnors could get in on the action with swoop and chugs.... Hell with this idea they might have to invent a new rating for games. N/A under 21... boobies and a grand of altitude.... everything in skydiving could be included..... just need to hit up the programmers that Keaunu Reeves gave his paycheck for Matrix Reloaded too and a case of cold ones... hmmmm...... (looks at phone) hmmmmm..... this could have potential.... hot air ballon jump rounds...... (looks at phone) hmmmmm.....

vt1977 0 #13 February 27, 2004 I have a copy of “Skydive Extreme” for the PS1 too – mine was bought for me. I have never been able to actually play the game because it didn’t come with instructions. It looks pretty crappy though… If anyone knows HOW you’re actually meant to play the game, please PM me! Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlindBrick 0 #14 February 27, 2004 Quote I have never been able to actually play the game because it didn’t come with instructions. Obviously you're not a man I must admit that I was suckered too, so I can say from 1st hand experience that no instructions are needed. The game is just a coordination/memorization test. Can you enter a series of control inputs that have nothing to do with skydiving to produce manuevers that , once again, have nothing to do with skydiving. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."
