Slalom

Screenshots1 / 2

A skier in orange clothing stands on a white snowy slope in the center of the screen, flanked by two orange flags positioned to the left and right. Purple pixelated mountains with snow peaks occupy the upper portion against a blue sky, with green grass visible at the base. The UI displays "PLAYER 1 QUALIFYING RUN" with time and score indicators across the top in a cyan bar. Gray terrain forms the slope edges, creating a downhill perspective typical of early NES skiing games.
