The Fun In Modern Snowboarding Games

By Marci Glover


Computer can imitate nearly everything in this world. One of the most notable things the computer has imitated is snowboarding games. It is now possible to play them on a PC and enjoy just like in the real world. This may sound fantastic but somebody who has played the games will agree that the fun that arises from playing them on a computer is very much comparable to that on real board and ground.

Thanks to technological development, these activities are nowadays possible on phones that use iOS and android. This, therefore, means that players do not have to be physically present in a snowy mountainous place to play, but can do that from wherever they are. It is possible for them to play during lunch breaks, while travelling or even relaxing in a couch.

Most of these games are not always available. They have low and high seasons; there are too many of them during certain times of the year and very few of them during other times. Specifically, there are usually so many of them in market between the month of October and March. Many of them flooded the market in late 90s and early 2000s.

At the moment, there are many sub-genres of the genre snowboard games, all of which integrating real snowboarding skills into their operations. Among the best in this field are; SSX, SSX Tricky, SSX 3, 1080 Snowboarding, Cool Boarders, Amped 2, 1080 Avalanche, SSX on Tour, Cool Boarders 3 and Amped 3. These have been rated as top ten in this genre.

It has been common for creators of these items to come up with series of the same. For instance, whoever created SSX thought it wise to produce others that succeeded the first production. SSX led to the creation of SSX Tricky, SSX 3, and SSX on Tour among others. This was perhaps taking advantage of the thirst for more fun created by the preceding SSX. Players always want more and more adventure.

It is also common to find these games being played in pubs, hotels, arcades and restaurants. They are normally played as businesses or as ways of entertaining guests. Before technology advanced to today level, players used to operate them using coins, and they were referred to as arcade games. This type use real snowboards in place of joysticks. The passage of time has seen the transition of the games from 2D to 3 D.

These games have been found to be addictive. Once somebody plays one round, he/she will always want to play it again and again. One may even be tempted to play it the whole day and forget doing his or her job. It is therefore advisable that one snowboards on his/her PC while free from any duties.

In comparison to adults, children love these activities more. Study has found more children and only few adults playing them. May be adults consider playing as being childish, or they are always engaged in earning a living for their families that they do not find time to play. Children, on the other hand, enjoy playing, and have enough time for play which relaxes their minds ready for school work.
