About 90s Extreme Skiing

Extreme Sports Games were an incredibly popular genre that came up together with the rise of textured polygon graphics with gaming consoles like the PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn. Three decades later, those games mainly lived on in the memories of Millenial and Gen-X players – only to make a return now, and to gaming in virtual reality no less. A technology many seasoned players credit for bringing back the thrill and child-like fun they remember when experiencing the very first video games. So this is actually a match made in (snowy) heaven!

90s Extreme Skiing brings back everything we loved from OG titles like Cool Boarders, 1080° Snowboarding or SSX. Or, to riff on a familiar phrase from the day: “If it was in the game, it’s IN THE GAME!“


About Tunermaxx

The first commercial release from Tunermaxx was the color-matching game Matchic for the Commodore Amiga in 1991.

Today, the company consists of film industry professionals with Hollywood credits under their belt, who see immense potential in Virtual Reality technology. We’re excited to bring our love of storytelling to such an exciting platform of entertainment!


Setting the Mood


“Yo, shred heads! The slopes are calling, and it’s time to get EXTREME!”

90s Extreme Skiing is your backstage pass to the raddest era of video games—when polygons were pointy, pop-in was part of the charm, and everything was about going big or going home. With 20 blazing-fast downhill races across 8 totally tubular ski resorts, you’ll drop massive airs, grind like a maniac, and claim medal after medal on your way to glory.

But that’s just the half-pipe, bro. Crush the competition on 20 online leaderboards, or chill out with a soundtrack that’ll make your Discman jealous: over 20 tracks produced in the actual 1990s bring back Dub, Drum’n’Bass, Trip-Hop and Big Beats that rock harder than your uncle’s karaoke mixtape.

And because this is an exclusive PlayStation VR2 jam, the vibes are real. Its major tech like crystal-clear visuals, 90fps refresh rate and head rumble makes every turn, jump, and gnarly wipeout feel legit, while its Platinum Trophy dangles just out of reach—like that snowboard your parents totally didn’t buy you.

So grab those goggles, suit up in neon and get ready to shred like a legend. Drop into 90s Extreme Skiing and carve your name into VR history—because anything less would be totally bogus!
