You pick a skater, board, and specs, then go skate in outlandish environments collecting tapes, letters, and high combos. It captures an attitude and energy of *skating* that was I was primed to receive in the early aughts. # Acquisition My dad bought *THPS* along with [[Star Fox 64]], [[Pokémon Stadium]] [[Donkey Kong 64]], some maybe some other games that I don't remember (those distinctive, never-before-seen cartridge colors win the memory pool), probably a controller or two, and a [Transfer Pak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_Pak). # Memories I played this game all the time. We were obsessed with learning the tricks and finding all the collectibles. I would scour the web for cheats, moves, and secrets. When I pulled off a backflip with Bob Burnquist through the concrete rafters in the Warehouse and Burnside, I felt unstoppable. --- I remember desperately needing a Memory Pak to save my game. One of my dad's friends (who I think also had one of the *Twisted Metal* games) gave me a Memory Pak that I still have today. I was able to successfully back that card up too. # Related Posts - [[DF Retro EX Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 – Digital Foundry]] # Miscellaneous - [*Tony Hawk's Pro Skater* – Cheats](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/dreamcast/199057-tony-hawks-pro-skater/cheats) from GameFAQs - [Move & Code Listing](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/dreamcast/199057-tony-hawks-pro-skater/faqs/7260) by Slateman on GameFAQs, I probably used this to memorize the moves.
