Retsy Series 1 · Card 0522 · 90-TOY
Kickflip. Grind. Repeat until lunch.
A skateboarding LCD handheld where you timed jumps over cones, dogs and one angry security guard.
The story · 1991
Grind Rail had exactly one level, and it looped forever, getting faster each time. The skater was a stick figure in a backwards cap, and the security guard chased him with a flashlight. One set of batteries lasted a whole road trip. The high score was written on the back in marker as proof.
Turning the sound off was impossible, so kids covered the speaker with tape and played under the blankets.
