Precision Skateboarding "Walkthrough"

- That is to say, can one ever truly fully complete a game as phenomenal as this?
Welcome to Precision Skateboarding, a very obscure and forgotten skateboarding game. That is truly a shame, because there is absolutely nothing that compares to how beautiful this is. Anybody who was gushing over Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 has clearly never experienced this.
To be fair, this game doesn't have a whole lot of stages. That's okay though, because what it does have is a thorough master class in game design. Every stage is crafted to complete perfection, to allow you to enjoy the game to the fullest. The sound effects truly immerse you into the game, and all of the menus use top-of-the-class WordArt text effects. The game is beautifully simple to play, as it only uses two buttons.
Why is nobody else talking about this? This is such a perfect skateboarding game that nobody has even come close to replicating.

Happy April Fools' Day, everyone!
The serious description: Over this past Thanksgiving, I was staying with my parents and did a little game hunting in their area. I found a giant stack of games on clearance at Half Price Books, and this game caught my eye...and it caught it for all of the wrong reasons. The front cover was almost a dead giveaway that the game was going to be bad, falling quite deep in the uncanny valley and doing a horrible job of trying to sell the game. It looked like the lowest budget, made-in-two-minutes game to cash in on the Tony Hawk craze of the 90s. At only a dollar, I had to see just what was in the package.
I don't think I was ready to witness what I ended up witnessing. This is truly beyond description. When I booted up the first level, I immediately bursted out laughing breathlessly as I saw just how horrendous the game looked. And then I actually played the game and it all got worse. For nearly three minutes straight I was thoroughly cracking up and cackling furiously. I'm pretty sure I annoyed my neighbors from laughing so loudly and nonstop.
The game's problems don't end at the visuals either. The controls are nonintuitive and bizarre -- you push one button to accelerate which makes your character squat, which any Tony Hawk player might think is preparing for an ollie, but nope, you use the other button to jump. The recovery time after you bail is absolutely insane, taking a good five to ten seconds and effectively meaning you aren't allowed to fall even once if you want to win the race. You can only rotate in one direction in mid-air, meaning if you oversteer, you have locked yourself into a fall. Oh, and you have to rotate 180 degrees off a half pipe, or you'll fall too...riding backwards isn't an option. And that's not even pointing out how you often can't see what's coming up thanks to the bad camera angles.
Just for the record, yes, this is how the game performs even in the best conditions. The computer I ran this on was well above the system requirements and yet it still would look like it was only running modestly well to the naked eye. As far as my actual gameplay, I did every track once. I should mention Half Pipe Race and Half Pipe Tournament are nearly identical, the only difference being the latter is score-based while the former is another race mode. Since there's two tracks where these modes are options, I just did them once each. Oh, and on the occasions it looks like I pass right through something I had to duck under -- that's a quirk in the engine, as long as you're holding the forward key/button, the game will register that you're ducking regardless if the animation correctly loads or not.
So yeah, needless to say, this is not a good game. I really can't hate it though, it made me laugh so hard that I honestly just love it for how low-budget it is. Seriously, just look at it. Every single thing about it is just hysterical.
Oh yeah, and I can't go without mentioning that there are Bible verses plastered around the game on billboards. A bit out of nowhere, but I’m not complaining. Though, hopefully you can't blame me for why I'm left scratching my head.
Well, all that said, I hope you enjoy the same laughs I enjoyed.
I had this game a kid. I got it from a school bookorder magazine and I hated it lol.
Haha, that's amazing. Reportedly the game was exclusively sold through Scholastic Book Fairs and Book Orders so that was probably where. Which simultaneously explains a lot but also leaves me wondering how they gave the okay to release this.
@@MrEightThreeOne I got it at a book fair. They sold a bunch of games (all on cd-rom) of varying quality. This is the only one I remember though so how good could the other ones be?
@@MrEightThreeOne i also got this at a scholastic book fair. The fair had books. But anything that wasn't a book was pretty bad quality a lot of the time. I recall also getting a Nancy Drew mysteries game at the book fair. My sister and I were so excited for it and we never got it to run on our computer 😂😂
This game ran though and I played quite a bit of it despite how bad it was.
Another good video.
This low budget PC game about skateboarding reminds me of an American game services company based in the Washington state, WildTangent, as well as an American computer software company, Cosmi Corporation, and two publishers that only released console games in Europe and Oceania, Midas Interactive Entertainment and Phoenix Games.
It's the Tony Hawk franchise, but minus 50% of the budget out.
I love that slow animation of jumping up after a fall 😂
05:15 Even the water looks like it can’t contain its laughter
I like how casually he steps on the board at the start, like 3 2 1 GO and he just looks down like "hey look a skateboard"
Awesome dude🔥 this is sick🤟🏽 keep it up you’re killing it!
Gotta love insomnia + adhd.
Laying in bed trying to go to sleep and all of a sudden my brain goes
"Hey, remember that computer game you got at the scholastic book fair 23 years ago?"
All this needs is a horrific "ska" soundtrack and we're set.
I had that game ALMOST 20 years ago
NOT like Tony Hawk at all
I don't know which is worse, this or Extreme Boards and Blades (or any of HeadGames "Extreme" games for that matter)
I never heard of this game until I found this video.
I honestly don't know if that's a good thing or not...
The game uses the same engine as Winter Race 3D.
It also utilizes the Direct3D Retained Mode present in versions of Windows until XP. Direct3D Retained Mode was removed from Windows Vista onward but can be restored by copying the necessary DLL file to the System32 & SysWOW64 folders respectively.
@@wadmodderschalton5763 Wait, it does?! Gosh, that explains a lot actually, no wonder the game performs as badly as it does
@@MrEightThreeOne yes it was created by Pantera Entertainment and therefore runs on the same engine as Winter Race 3D.
Despite its awfulness, it's still better than Winter Race 3D, because it uses a third person view rather than a first person view.
Only ogs remember his LEGO videos
If you have The Escape Of Marvin The Ape, could you upload the Playthrough?
Backyard skateboarding game of year edition you played 2015
Кой е тук от PC Mania?
reminds me of "2xtreme" on playstation
Is that idtech12?
Nope, it's a in-house 3D engine that utilizes the Direct3D Retained Mode made by Pantera Entertainment.
This looks so bad hahaha what's with the bible verses?
If u do roblox U will get thousands of views or just rot in this flipping unknown stuff
This...might be one of the funniest comments I have ever gotten. Seriously, the longer I stare at it, the worse it gets.
I mean, let's begin with the fact that your channel consists of nothing but Roblox, yet as of this writing not one of your videos has cracked triple-digit views. Something even this video can claim. This is a textbook example of casting stones in glass houses.
Second, your assumption that I do this for views is downright adorable. This is a labor of love for me, I don't care how many views I get. If even one person is supporting me, that's all it takes for me to keep going. If a video I make obtains a lot of views, great, that's just a coincidence and a happy accident to me.
And by the way, if I wanted views, there are so many better options than that. I'm pretty certain Fortnite videos would dwarf the number of views I would ever get on a Roblox video.
But thank you for vindicating my decision to leave that terrible game and never come back. I appreciate it
@@MrEightThreeOne Old man wana put 8 hours in a reply and unknown words idk what is vindicating I shought u said vagana
@@MrEightThreeOne U must return breh u could be like flesk JUST TRY
@@MrEightThreeOne till date when i see fleshkjerta's ban I say f and cry please come back even flesk had to
@@TNSAMFF stop saying he should return
