Slalom is a Nintendo and Rare NES ski game with its skier descending alpine tracks avoiding obstacles and gates. The representation offers pseudo 3D behind skier view with turns and jumps in a founding arcade winter sport formula. Honest for NES sport fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Rare catalog.

Collector interest

The US Slalom shares Rare's founding pedigree but sits among the earliest American NES titles with early boxing, sought by fans of black box era variants. Published by Nintendo in 1987, its cartridge stays common while factory-sealed examples reach high figures. The North American angle thus combines Rare's origin story with membership in Nintendo's first catalog wave on the console.
