Game shirts are a dime a dozen. Heck, a dime a baker’s dozen, and I don’t use dimes or baker’s dozens! But how many combine 80s skateboarding games with biblical quotes and can still make it work? Not many. Probably just this one, in fact, from 3sixteen, which combines the logo from Skate or Die with Philippians 1:21-23. Snappy. If there’s any left by the time you’re reading this, you can grab one from Digital Gravel (just search 3sixteen). [Digital Gravel]
Just a little Christmas courtesy note to Australian (and probably European) readers: Skate or Die is one of today’s Virtual Console updates. If anyone needs me, type LOUDLY, I’ll be off jousting.
Continuing their recent obsession with early skateboarding videogames, Nike will be releasing another set of Dunks based on an early skateboarding videogame. Except this time, instead of the kinda-OK 720°, they’re based on the entirely-rad Skate or Die. Or, more precisely, it’s box art. Shame it couldn’t have just been Rodney’s giant face on a shoe, but I guess Nike have commercial designs for these things beyond our own wildest desires.

Least, it’s coming to the Australian Virtual Console. Sure it’ll follow elsewhere at the same time, though, so chin up. A classification for the game’s turned up on the Office of Film & Literature Classification’s database, which means a Virtual Console release isn’t too far off. Never played the NES version myself, as I had it on C64 (and blindly reckon its the best iteration of the lot), but hey, they all feature skating and they all feature Rodney, so there’s no real need to split hairs.
