Skitchin' is a unique and edgy racing game released for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) in 1994, developed by Electronic Arts. The game combines elements of inline skating (or "skitching") with combat and racing, offering a distinctive experience compared to more traditional racing games of the era. The term "skitching" refers to the act of holding onto moving vehicles while on skates to gain speed, which is the central mechanic of the game.
In Skitchin', players race against others on various urban tracks, using their inline skates to "skitch" or grab onto passing cars and trucks to gain momentum. The gameplay also features a combat element, as players can punch, kick, or use weapons to knock opponents off their skates while racing. Players can earn money based on their race results, which can be used to upgrade equipment like skates, gloves, and armor. The game is set across different cities, each with distinct visual styles and road hazards that players must avoid, such as potholes, cars, and barriers.
The game stood out for its rebellious and gritty atmosphere, featuring a rock soundtrack and an attitude reminiscent of the '90s counterculture. Skitchin' was often compared to the Road Rash series due to its similar combat-racing style, but with a fresh twist by using rollerblades instead of motorcycles. Despite its innovative concept, the game received mixed reviews for its somewhat repetitive gameplay and difficult controls, but it remains a cult favorite among Sega Mega Drive fans for its originality and unique premise.
