Free (as in Ski)

I need something fun and frivolous. This will do.

I hope this needs no introduction. I hope that you had SkiFree on a Win 3.1 box back in the day. You loved the cheesiness, you really loved the abominable snowman that would come eat you. Yes, silly game goodness.

I happened to stumble onto the page for the game the other day. It turns out the guy was a Microsoft guy who basically wrote this as a side project. He retained rights to change the code, so he has built some new versions that work better with WinXP and such. Sweet!
