Cool Boarders

Cool Boarders brings the original PlayStation snowboarding classic to modern hardware, rebuilt with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. If you remember carving down alpine tracks on the PS1 or you just want a fast, arcade-style boarding game without a steep learning curve, this release gives you the full downhill experience on Windows and iOS.

You get five downhill courses, ten boards with distinct handling, and a roster of riders with their own attitude and style. The trick system rewards timing — 360s, 1440s, flips, board grabs, ollies, spins, and fakies all chain together when you land clean. A Ghost Data feature lets you race against the replay of your best run, which is the closest thing to a personal rival the game offers.

What Cool Boarders Offers

This is arcade snowboarding at its most direct. You pick a rider and a board, drop into a course, and the game pushes you toward speed and style in equal measure. The five downhill courses are texture-mapped 3-D alpine tracks that demand skill as much as nerve — you'll find yourself memorizing lines and hunting for clean landings rather than grinding through menus.

The board selection matters. Ten snowboards each carry their own attributes and design, so swapping equipment changes how a run feels. Characters come with their own attitude and style, which gives the roster more personality than you might expect from a game of this era.

If you want to keep going after this one, the series continues with Cool Boarders 2, which expands the formula, and later with Cool Boarders 2001 on the next generation of hardware.

Key Features

• Five downhill courses — 3-D texture-mapped alpine tracks built for speed runs and trick lines.
• Ten snowboards — each board has unique attributes and its own design.
• Distinct riders — characters with their own attitude and style.
• Deep trick system — 360s, 1440s, flips, back and front-side board grabs, ollies, spins, and fakies.
• Ghost Data — race against the replay of your best run.
• Eight CD soundtrack tracks — a licensed-era soundtrack that pushes the pace.
• Two playing perspectives — switch camera angles to change how the course reads.
• Modern enhancements — up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.

Gameplay and Presentation

The controls are built around momentum. You carve, you catch air, and you pull maneuvers before the ground comes back up. Landing clean keeps your run alive; misjudging a rotation costs you. The two perspectives let you choose between a view that favors reading the course and one that emphasizes the sense of speed, which is a small feature that changes the feel of a run more than you'd expect.

Ghost Data is the standout addition for solo play. Racing a replay of your own best run turns a time trial into a duel, and it gives you a concrete target instead of an abstract score. Combined with rewind and quick save in this release, the learning curve flattens out — you can experiment with a risky line and roll back if it falls apart.

The presentation leans on the original PlayStation aesthetic. Up-rendering sharpens the image, and custom video filters let you decide how much of the original look you want to keep. Some players will prefer the unfiltered original; others will want the cleaner output. Both are available.

Who This Is For

Cool Boarders suits players who want a quick, skill-based sports game without a long commitment. If you grew up with the PlayStation original, the rewind and quick save features make revisiting those courses far more comfortable than the original memory card grind. If you're new to the series, this is a straightforward entry point — the trick system is readable, the courses are short, and Ghost Data gives you something to chase after the credits.

Players who want a larger track list or a deeper trick roster should look at the sequels; Cool Boarders 2 PSN is the natural next step if you enjoy this one.
