Another bright spot for Skiing 99 is in the audio department. The music is pretty good, and the sounds of skis cutting through snow are well done. The crowd sounds, complete with ringing cowbells, are well done and appropriately placed. Seriously, a little humor probably helped me enjoy this game to the extent that I did - I really can't lodge any complaints in this department. 85 Overall, a pretty good effort here.
All menus are mouse-driven, highly visible, and easy to navigate.
The only real problem I have is burying the player setup menu inside the race menu - not very intuitive. This is probably the strongest feature of Skiing 99. 70 Frustration set in really fast on this one. There, I've said it and feel much better now. Once you've set your control and graphics options, picked out your ski suit and equipment, gotten to the mountain of your choice, and stepped into the bindings, prepare to be humbled.
