Picked this gem up when I was a kid. I'd be willing to sell it for the right offer. Feel free to approach me if you want to part with your satoshis.

Skate or Die! is a skateboarding game released by Electronic Arts in 1988. In the style of the Epyx "Games" series, players can compete in five different skateboarding events, either individually or sequentially. When the events are challenged sequentially, up to eight players could sign up to participate.

The game features two ramp events - the freestyle ramp and the high jump, two downhill events - the downhill race (in a park setting) and the downhill jam (in a street setting), and the pool joust. The pool joust, downhill jam, and the downhill race (in two player mode only) is all head to head, while the ramp events are single player. Except for the joust, which is a hand-to-hand knockout competition (literally and figuratively), all of the event winners are decided by a point system.

Two characters featured in Skate or Die!: Rodney Recloose, a wild man with a purple mohawk and a Marine Corps tattoo (and a facial resemblance to comedian Rodney Dangerfield) who runs a skateshop in the game, and his son Bionic Lester, an even wilder kid with a green flattop, who you were able to take on in the joust and the downhill jam. In the joust, Lester and his two cronies await the skater. Poseur Pete challenges beginners and Aggro Eddie takes on intermediate players, leaving Lester with the advanced pros.
