Winter Gold on SNES is one of those weirdly charming sports games from the '90s where you’re just bombing down pixelated slopes at ridiculous speeds. It’s got skiing, snowboarding, even bobsledding—all with that classic Super Nintendo jank where you’ll wipe out spectacularly if you take a turn too sharp.
The controls take a second to get used to (good luck not faceplanting your first run), but once it clicks, there’s something satisfying about nailing a clean slalom or barely scraping past a rival sled. The music’s got that upbeat, synth-heavy vibe that makes even last-place finishes feel like a victory lap.
It’s not the deepest winter sports sim, but if you miss the days of chunky sprites and arcadey physics, this one’s a solid time capsule. Just don’t expect realism—more like a snowball fight with your nostalgia.
