An essay I found, describing my feelings:

"I think it is pretty clear that the baddest video game villain ever is the Yeti in the Windows 3.1 game, Ski Free. I'm sure other people are going to write in with suggestions of various sissy villains who have eyes bulging three inches out of their sockets, shoot azure beams from their finger tips, and have ten thousand hit points, but as far as I'm concerned, Ski Free's Yeti would chew off their faces and pop their eyeballs between his teeth as if they were juicy olives. The Yeti in Ski Free is the most undiluted form of pure evil ever incarnated in pixelized form.

For those who do not know this game, Ski Free is an enchanting Windows game where you ski down a seemingly infinite ski course, attempting to jump over ski jumps, hit sledders and those bastard snow-boarders. A lot of time is spent colliding with trees which burst into flame as you hit them and running over small, rat-sized dogs which like to befoul the pure white snow with their own excrement. If you have Windows, you probably have this game floating around somewhere. It is relatively simple fare, and it seems a far cry that a game about tree slaloming and freestyle ski-ing could possibly have video game's most loathed villain.

However, after playing the game for about 3 minutes or so, out of the woods comes bounding a horrifying, pixelized beast, whose very eyes exude such profound hatred, such utter abomination, that the Seraphs above weep to look upon him. He looks like a snow man made out of black, befouled slush, and he sprints around on two tiny legs which seem incapable of holding his weight. Instead of breaking his own legs, however, as soon as he sees you, he bounds out at a speed of something along the lines of 200 mph. If he catches your skier, there is no reprieve... he unhinges his jaw, stuffs you down his throat hole, smacks his sharp, yellowed teeh, and then monstrously chortles and gloats over his accomplishment while jumping up and down. He is unstoppable. It is almost impossible to outrun him... with each leg span he bounds across half the screen, picks you up in his monstrous talons, and gobbles you down, after whiles picking his teeth with your ski pole. He swallows you whole as if you are a delightful, warm and gooey oyster to be slowly dissolved alive in his voluminous, foul belly. This yeti's very appearance, in its cartoony horror, bespeaks a monstrosity so far removed from the sight of God that Satan plays hand maiden to him.

Sure, there are other villains in video games, some of them formidable... but they can all be beaten. Ski Free's yeti, this abominable snowman, however, is monstrosity unbounded. He has no special powers, he has no moves or magic nor even any hit-points, but he is unbeatable and always hungry for your blood. Fear the Yeti. "

I always thought he was a dinosaur, not a Yeti. When he's facing frontward, he looks like he could be an evil snowman. But when he's running from the side towards you, he has a tail and a snout. So through arguments on what the heck he his between my friends when we first got our Windows, we decided it was a t-rex, or something of the sorts.

Chip's Challenge is awesome.

[Tardumb]

hell yeah! Chip's Challenge is fricken awesome! hard...but fun!

[freakyplatypus]

I just can't make myself skip levels though... I feel cheap.

[Tardumb]

Yeah, and there's a ton of them. You know how many there are?

[Balrog of Moria]

is there ANY way to avoid that thing

[Tardumb]

Not that I know of, it's incredibly fast, way faster than your skiier.

[Snake Spirit]

So many games to think of I can't narrow it down to one, but I would say that since I'm a FPS person, I would go with Soldier of Fortune. Had a lot of fun with that one. Runner up goes to the Blood series.

If we're talking about the dino in SkiFree... then yeah you can avoid him. If you keep your speed and don't crash, he'll miss you but chase you or try again in a second.

I think when he said Windows games, he ment games that came with Windows, not games for PC. Otherwise it'd be like a million other threads. Also why he mentioned SkiFree first off.

[Snake Spirit]

Ooooo.OK sorry about that folks.
My bad on that one. I thought you meant games that ran on Windows. Oh well, time to all the PC police *runs for cover under his desk as they bust down my door* :eek: In that case I haven't played too many so I can't say which is the best.

I got to 100 something once. Impossible!!

[Tardumb]

I haven't played in forever, ever since my dad moved out of his last apartment which would've been last summer some time. I think I was at 60 something.

Jezzball....simplistic, yet disturbingly difficult.

[evilsquishy]

I was in a Jezzball tournament once. I got CREAMED!!! I never knew there were Jezzball fanatics.

[Tardumb]

I forgot about Jezzball, great game!

[freakyplatypus]

Jezzball is awesome.
Definently one of the best.
