Cousin Vinnie Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 This is a stupid question...but here goes... I just won Water Ski and it is new in the box. I want to play it, but yet I don't want to ruin the value of the game by unwrapping it. Is it easy to shrink wrap it back up, or should I leave it alone...especially if it sucks???

Hakogame 箱亀 Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Due to the rarity of that game, you might want to just play it on an emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Vinnie I say open it up and play it. What's the point of owning them if you won't play them? The price difference between shinkwrapped and complete is small anyway.

IMHO, Water Ski does not suck. It is a hard as hell game to play though. A lot of people say that, and I think a lot of people jump on the bandwagon, without ever giving the game a chance. It does have dull graphics, they could have been better. The gameplay is pretty hard. The Joystick controls the boat direction (left,right) and the speed (up,down); also the skier behind the boat is controlled by the fire buttons (left fire button moves the skier left, and vice versa) Thats a lot of control options. Now, mix in ramps that you jump for points, also throw in some obstacles that can crash either the boat or the skier. That's a lot of variables and makes for a damn hard game. In my opinion, Hard games are addictive. Because a game is hard doesn't necesseraily mean it sucks. It's gonna take a few tries to pick this one up, don't expect to pick this one up right away. Remember, the following when you play: It is possible to hit every ramp, score 1,000,000 points and live to a very old age without ever seeing level three. If you want to keep it shrinkwrapped, buy a loose cart to play. They are a lot cheaper loose. But, you gotta give the game a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I think you should try it on an emulator, and if you like it then unwrap it and play it. Think of it as food.. are you going to let a beautiful cake sit there. or are you gonna enjoy it and eat it? I dont reccomend eating water ski, but enjoy it. Even tho i think it sucks.. what the hell is up with the invisable stumps?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
