Super Skateboardin is a maze game that's exclusive to the Atari 7800.
+ Map design is expertly crafted, with intricate item placement and distinctive areas that force you to memorise multiple paths.+ Doors you've already skated through remain open as you navigate around, which is handy when looking for new routes.
+ Controls are excellent and there's some cool sprite animations when objects such as TVs and printers are activated.
+ Once you've switched off each item, it's a race back to the entrance against the clock, which can be moderately exciting.
- Only one layout that doesn't take long to memorise, and the eight-second musical loop will quickly give you a headache.
- Apart from falling off the rooftop, the game is devoid of danger and could have used enemies / hazards to spice things up.
- Skateboarding premise feels tacked on, as there's nothing of substance that relates to the extreme sport.
