XKCD is a webcomic developed by Randall Munroe and it’s probably the most popular of its kind on the Internet. Although we shouldn’t make a scene about it, today’s comic reminded us of a great game called SkiFree, a game created by Chris Pirih in 1991, a Microsoft programmer at that time. SkiFree’s purpose was to ski downhill and to avoid obstacles in your way. The most difficult obstacle to overcome was the monster Yeti who would have killed you without blinking.

Well, today’s XKCD webcomic provides a way to escape the monster’s death claws by pressing the “F” key. Frankly, I never knew this and I went to the left or to the right, probably escaped the monster, however, another monster appeared and killed me. This is a hell of a game and you can download and play it right here. SkiFree created quite a buzz on Reddit, and it seems like people really appreciate the game and the five abominable snow monsters that will definitely kill you.
