Horace Goes Skiing is a single player game with multiple genres. The first is similar to Frogger, where players begin with $40 and guide Horace across a busy road to the ski lodge. Getting hit by a vehicle costs Horace $10 in ambulance fees. Once Horace makes it to the lodge and hires skiis, it becomes a ski game where players slalom between flags and avoid trees. Colliding with a tree will send Horace back to the start of the game. When Horace runs out of money, the game ends.
Original game developed by Beam Software for ZX Spectrum 48/128, Published in 1982 by Melbourne House and Psion Software
