A rowdy skating-and-brawling spin on the Road Rash formula that deserves a place on a Genesis shelf.
Skitchin' is a Genesis racing game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts, in Europe on 26 March 1994 and in North America in April 1994. You play an inline skater who races in a tournament, fights other skaters and hitches rides on the bumpers of passing vehicles, which is the skitching of the title. EA reused the engine of the Road Rash series and included a disclaimer warning against the real activity.
Electronic Games noted that you earn bonus points for stunts and for clobbering rivals, with three judges holding up scorecards and graffiti graphics by a well-known street artist. Blockbuster Video's fifth-highest renting Genesis title in August 1997 was Skitchin', and in 2017 GamesRadar+ ranked it 49th among the best Genesis games.
