Alpine Racer[a] is a racing sports video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. It had a limited release in December 1994,[1] followed by a wide release in July 1995.[2] It ran on the Namco System 22 arcade hardware.
The player uses a handlebar controller to move a skier down a course situated on a snow-covered mountain, the objective being to make it to the end of the course without falling off the slope or colliding with obstacles. It features three different courses to select, alongside a standard race mode and a time-attack mode where the player must pass through gates to replenish a time limit.
It was an arcade hit, among the top five highest-grossing dedicated arcade games of 1996 in both Japan and the United States. The arcade success of Alpine Racer led to a wave of similar sports games capitalizing on its success during the late 1990s.
