Skate Crazy appeared on several formats back in
1988 but the Commodore 64 version was the only one of them developed at
Gremlin's offices in Derby.
Comprising two games - an eight-way scrolling 'Car Park Challenge' on one side of the tape cassette and a sideways scrolling 'Championship Course' on the other, set up so that the player qualified in the first game and then turned the cassette over to play the
second.
My job was in providing the graphics for the second game - four side-scrolling backgrounds, on-screen display graphics and converting the sprite graphics from the other formats (by US Gold veteran artist Kevin Bulmer) for use on the C64.
Possibly the
only title in gaming history with a 'Street Cred-ometer'.
