Alpine Ski

Released by Taito in December 1981, *Alpine Ski* is an arcade title often cited as the origin of the skiing game genre. Players must skillfully navigate past various obstacles—including trees, rocks, and other skiers—to reach the finish line within the time limit. The game won widespread support for its highly polished balance, featuring systems such as bonus time awarded upon reaching specific scores and a bonus round involving a ski jump. It remains a point of historical interest that despite the title "Alpine," the game incorporates ski jumping, an event technically categorized under Nordic skiing.
