The Game: SkiFree
Genre: Abominable Snowman Outrunner
Platform: PC (Windows)
The Scoop: Oh SkiFree. All kids of a certain age remember playing this very low-fi downhill skiing game, as it came free with most copies of Windows. Or if they don't remember actually playing it, they remember the inevitable end of each run – being eaten by the Abominable Snow Man. IGNTip: Hit "F" to toggle fast mode and the beast can actually be outrun. Mind blown!
If you're a younger gamer, SkiFree will show you what older generations had to put up with to get their free gaming fix. And if you're older, the freebie download will serve up a nice jolt of nostalgia.
Free Game of the Day is a column that spotlights a new 100%-free game, every day. Not demos, or shareware, or "freemium" games. Just pure, free gaming goodness. It's that simple! Interested in previous Free Game of the Day posts? Check the archive, or follow @IGNFreeGames on Twitter!
