Play Tommy Moe's Winter Extreme: Skiing and Snowboarding Online

Game Overview

Tommy Moe's Winter Extreme is one of those early '90s SNES sports games that somehow makes pixelated snow feel fast and slippery. You pick skis or a snowboard (I always went snowboard—felt cooler, even if the physics were questionable) and either race against the clock or just mess around in freestyle mode. The competition mode is brutal—three tries to nail a run, or it's game over. Freestyle's more forgiving, letting you carve down slopes at ridiculous speeds (88 mph on flats? Sure, why not) while dodging trees and praying you make the next checkpoint in under 70 seconds.

Weather actually matters here—one run might be clear afternoon sun, the next a total whiteout snowstorm. And yeah, you’ll spend a weird amount of time waiting on the pixelated ski lift between runs. The whole thing feels like someone took an arcade racer and stapled it to a winter sports sim. Not the deepest game, but there’s something satisfying about shaving seconds off your best time. Just don’t expect realism—those NASCAR speed comparisons in the manual aren’t kidding.
