Play 1080 TenEighty Snowboarding (Europe) Online

1080 TenEighty Snowboarding came out on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, developed and published by Nintendo. It was part of a wave of 3D sports games that tried to capture the feel of their real world counterparts, and it stood out for its focus on trick based snowboarding rather than racing.

You control one of several snowboarders, each with different stats, and your main goal is to perform tricks and complete runs without wiping out. The signature mechanics are the analog stick controlled spins and flips, the need to balance your landings with the Z button, and grabbing the board for style. The game can be unforgiving; a mistimed landing sends you tumbling down the mountain. It feels responsive and physical, with a real sense of weight and consequence behind every trick attempt.
