I remember a trial version of this being bundled with an old Vista PC my parents got. I'd love to see this game brought to GOG along with the other Polar Sports games. Technically, it's still available through WildTangent. But I'd prefer to have a DRM-free version of this on GOG rather than have to deal with a shady launcher.
This game, along with FATE were my 2 favorite games I could never play as a child. It cost money to play the WildTangent games, but you could occasionally get trial tokens and I didn't understand how cookies worked at the time. But those very occasional trial tokens were my only way of playing those 2 games. FATE fortunately is on Steam, and they just made a remake which is also on consoles. I hope this game could remain downloadable from a reputable source so I don't have to worry about malware or crypto miners trying to relive my childhood.
Those games also need your vote!
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!: For the Awesome
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!: For the AwesomeThe jumps you make off buildings floating above Boston, Massachusetts are all about style and timing. You perform stunts, weaving around the bustling City for points, making split-second decisions: do you snake around those girders to earn a dozen “kisses,” or glide along the side of that steel super-skyscraper for massive “hugs”? Aaaaa! then throws in the spectators — as you fall, give fans the thumbs-up and protesters the finger. And if you’re hungry for a bit of civil disobedience, you can even ready the spraypaint and tag government buildings for points. The game will also teach you how to debristle a pig. 80 levels. Plus the bonus level. Flip off protesters. Fly down mountains. Spraypaint graffiti. Be a pinball.Execute stunt kisses. And stunt hugs. Learn to bake cookies. Thread the needle. Debristle a pig?
