@supergainsbros: This Game Had the WORST Timing Ever… No game had worse timing than Thrasher: Skate and Destroy. Released in 1999 by Rockstar, Thrasher took a completely different approach to skateboarding games — focusing on realism, weight, and flow instead of arcade-style combos. And at the time, reviewers actually praised it for that. It felt closer to real skating. More technical. More grounded. But then Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater dropped… and everything changed. Tony Hawk was faster, flashier, and way more accessible, instantly taking over the genre. And just like that, Thrasher was completely overshadowed. What makes it even more interesting is that years later, Skate would come along and prove that Thrasher’s vision actually worked. So Thrasher didn’t fail because it was bad… it failed because it came out at the exact wrong time. #retrogaming #playstation1 #gaming #tonyhawk #Skateboarding

I still have my physical copy and play it every so often the game has aged in incredibly well. I wish this got a reboot.

Loved it. The number of hours I spent trying to kickflip that one massive set in London, but always landing 1 stair short

Honestly, I never knew this was a game back then. I had N64 so I don’t think this was on that console but I could be wrong

I feel like this game could have been skate before skate was skate if the tech was there

This was a good game but it only appealed to skaters...tony hawk appealed to the masses and the casual gamer

Still love this game. The soundtrack influenced my musical taste for the rest of my life. And I can still do 720s with Jasmine.

I used to have the first level on a demo disc from Pizza Hut! I remember there was a way if you somehow got up onto a certain rooftop, you could find the legendary skater standing there. He didn’t do anything tho and you couldn’t interact with him, but it was being able to get up there that was the achievement lol
