This page has no image. What about a screenshot from Ski Free? For example:

  1. The hero running down the tree slalom track passing between a tree and a gate with some other objects on the screen.
  2. The hero being chased by the yeti with some other objects on the screen.

What do you think about this?

Please CamelCase your topic titles in the future so that the link works. I've done it for you this time.

As long as I'm thinking about it - with no offense intended to you or anyone else - where do people keep copying the "Main.This Is A Trope" syntax from? I mean, you have to CamelCase it to get a link on the wiki or the forums, it's CamelCased in the URL, and copying it directly from the page header would have extra punctuation and capitalization that rarely seems to show up (also wouldn't have the "Main." part). I'm confused as to how this specific format keeps showing up in incorrect titles.

Other than that, Ski Free could work.

Oh right, thank you. I thought about it, but I was a bit rushing there.

There's no need to rush. There's plenty of time to find an image of the actual game so people who aren't familiar with the game can see how it illustrates the trope.

Could work. Are there any shots with more fun obstacles?

I think the obstacles in Ski Free get rather denser than that?

A shot with all of the obstacle types might be better, if you can manage it.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Maybe I can "photoshop" together some different obstacles.

I like both of the 'shops, but I like Petersohn's better. It has the yeti, and it's less scattered-looking; the obstacles look more like they'd cause problems.

+1 for 10. I went ahead and put it on the page. Caption or no? I was thinking "Watch out for that tree!...rock!...Yeti?!"

[up]Can work.

I was thinking something like, "Too slow, and the yeti eats you. Too fast, and you hit a tree. And then the yeti eats you." Don't think it works that well for the trope, though. Also kinda long.
