"Downhill Theme" from Slalom on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1987)
Composer: David Wise
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Rare
Slalom is a game that I have semi-fond memories of. In elementary school, I would sometimes go over to my neighbor N's house around the corner and we would play Nintendo games. One of the games of his that I recall frequently playing, but never for more than a couple of attempts was Slalom. This game is stupidly difficult, but really only once you get to the second race. The first race is kind of a warm-up for everything else the game throws at you. The game plays like any other racing game on the NES of that era, with the player controller their vehicle (in this case a beautifully shaped-butt skier) through a twisting course with other players in the way. But Slalom ups the difficulty by also throwing trees, snowmen, sledders, and moguls.
The music here, composed by David Wise, does not change between courses, meaning regardless of the course you are on, you will hear this track, so it kind of gets ingrained in your brain. Unless you give up on the third course after you keep slamming into one of the dozens of kids sledding IN THE MIDDLE OF A SLALOM COURSE!
