Ski Crazed is a 1987 skiing game video game developed by JAM Software and published by Baudville.

Development

Ski Crazed was the first game developed by JAM Software.[1][2] It was originally titled Ski Stud and was programmed by Jason Rubin in a weekend.[3][2] Baudville bought the game from JAM Software for US$250.[3] The publisher announced the game for the Apple II in September 1987 as part of its third-quarter release plans.[4] It was shipped in October 1987.[5]

Reception

Computer Entertainer gave the game a score of 3 out of 4, stating: "There’s nothing serious here, from the funny-looking skier to the messages which your ski instructor indicates to you. Including the construction set gives the game the extra added fun that makes the difference"[6]

The game sold 1,000 copies.[1] and the company made about US$1,500 from the game.[7]
