Skate or Die! is a 1987 skateboarding sports video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the Commodore 64, marking the company's first in-house developed title and capitalizing on the 1980s skateboarding craze with a multi-event format inspired by the Epyx Games series. Players customize their skater in a virtual skate shop, selecting names and board colors before competing in up to five disciplines—either individually for practice or sequentially against up to three AI opponents (with varying difficulties) or seven human players— including the freestyle ramp for performing tricks in a half-pipe, high jump to launch off a ramp for maximum height, downhill race through a park course, downhill jam as an obstacle-filled street race, and pool joust where players battle rivals like Bionic Lester and his cronies in a drained swimming pool using skateboards as weapons. The game features colorful, detailed graphics, memorable chiptune music by Rob Hubbard including synthesized guitar riffs, and varied controls for each event.
