Ski Free (1991). Back when app icons went hard.

They did so much with so little. Now we do so little with so much. What happen?

software is a gas

Back when I was a baby PC gamer… getting eaten by snow monsters countless times.

Yes

Fun Fact: This was the early app icon for the game. I never knew it was going to be transparent, with the Windows teal I added around it.

I always loved that the executable came with both icon options in the resources! I wish that could still be a thing with steam et. al.

13 pixels to spell out ski. Man I do miss those old 9x icons for everything

That yeti went harder

(softly) don't.

I spent so much time evading that damn abominable snowman

Back in the day there was an NES emulator called NESticle. You can imagine what the icon looked like.

No way! LOL! Time to test this on Wine when I get home!

One of the best games ever made. That sounds like a joke. But I'm not joking.
