Now we come to what is perhaps the flagship and most famous of all surf video games in history. Both modes worked with a side-scrolling action that skidded between obstacles or surfing a giant wave and in which to get points had to perform tricks, maneuvers and collect the various bonuses. To practice them, they gave the option to select as characters the four mascots of the Town & Country Surf Designs brand, the "Da Boys". The game, Wood and Water Rage, has two game options, skate and surf.
In 1988 LJN Toys launched a extreme sports video game, seeing the success that the pioneer had had. Skateboarding, inline skating, frisbee, BMX and, of course, surfing were the sports offered by this reference among video games.Ĭontinuing with the classics it is necessary to mention a video game that was only developed for the Nintendo NES. This work of craftsmanship based on square pixels and 2D drawings, offered the player the opportunity to enjoy the different sports variants that then triumphed among the young people of the sunny city of Los Angeles. This video game was initially designed for Apple II and Commodore 64 computers, but due to its great success it diversified into other consoles such as Atari, Sega Mega Drive, NES or Sega Master System. This relic was launched in 1987 by the company Epyx Sports Game. Is now far away for many of us one of the first digital experiences with surfing, which it was and is considered the first video game in history in which our beloved sport would appear, being in a saga called "California Games". On the way, magnificent playable works of art that have surprised us with each delivery, on different platforms. It has been a growth at a speed that very few expected, going from video games in square pixels, to the not so future and increasingly present virtual reality.
Since its explosion in the 1980s, when many young people spent hours with gaming machines, to today, almost forty years later, when an impressive economy is developing around e-sports, surfing, though not in the foreground, has been present in the virtual experience.
