Skate or Die Review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRUndertow review of Skate or Die, developed and published by Electronic Arts for the NES. Although it may have garnered a cult following and is the spiritual forefather of the legendary Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, you wouldn't know it if you played Skate or Die.

This video review features video gameplay footage of Skate or Die and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Eric. br br Get more Classic Game Room on Facebook at and at .
