This itty bit of news has just made my week. Remember that game SkiFree that came preloaded on Windows 3.1? It was a very simple game; you used the arrow keys to direct the skier speck to the bottom of a hill, trying your best to not run into obstacles like trees and rocks. Today gameplay utilizes iPhone goodies like the built-in accelerometer for steering and the touchscreen for jumping. The developer promises a future update will add a new slalom mode, easter eggs from the original SkiFree, and the absent and totally necessary Snow Monster. That little basterd would always get me once I reached near the bottom of the hill! Download SkiFree here; it’s free!
