Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a skateboarding video game series that began in 1999, featuring the professional skateboarder Tony Hawk.

The games combine arcade-style gameplay with licensed punk and hip-hop soundtracks, letting players perform tricks and complete objectives in skate parks and urban environments.

The series defined its genre and introduced a generation to skateboarding culture: I spent hours playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater as a kid.
