Skate or Die adapts Electronic Arts skating on Konami/Ultra NES with its skater chaining urban figures and spectacular descents. The representation offers varied skate mini games with freestyle, downhill and halfpipe in a family 80s extreme sport formula. Honest for NES sport fans, curiosity of the 8 bit ported Ultra catalog.

Collector interest

Skate or Die bears the Ultra label, Konami's shell brand used to skirt Nintendo's per-publisher game cap, a footnote that delights label completists. Released in 1988, this port of EA's computer hit stays very common, so bare carts are nearly worthless. Factory-sealed copies are the exception, fetching markedly more, the only genuine point of interest for an otherwise unremarkable title on the secondhand market.
