It's probably pretty hot where you are right now, so why not cool off with some Jet Ski Video games:

But maybe you are at work right now and can't watch a video while you are silently skiving off, so here's what I covered.

*First off all Wave Race 64.  The 20fps masterpiece on Nintendo 64 is still decent fun for about three levels until the vibe is ruined when the game asks you to go Jet Skiing on a rainy day in an industrial estate.

*After that I look at Aqua Jet which is a 1996 Arcade game by Namco, which has recently been repackaged by Hamster for the PS5 & Switch 2.  If you'll enjoy this pretty much comes down it if you still enjoy Ridge Racer 1 or not.  Aqua jet only has one track; it's a fun track and the gameplay is fun too, but it's a short experience.

*Then we have Wave Runner by Sega on Model 2 arcade hardware.  Great game, game graphics, great sound, great vibe, shit emulation either through MAME or M2 Emu.

*But there is also Waver Runner GP which runs on Naomi hardware.  Very similar to the first game, but something doesn't feel right, and the tracks are no where near as fun.

* Finally Kandagawa Jet Girls (PS4/Steam) is almost the full package.  Lots of great tracks to race on, gun combat, nice graphics, fun mini games, progression system that allows for upgrades to your Jet Ski, has a story but I just skipped it as it looked like low budget Waifu nonsense.  30fps on PS4/5 but 60fps on Steam.  However £6 most of the time on PlayStation Store and £35 on Steam.  Yet another example of digital games being cheaper on PlayStation than PC.

But please do watch the video, it's pretty good!

“It’s pretty hot where you are right now” Yeah no kidding. I’m typing this as I sit in 103F Texas sun (while wearing long-sleeved pants).

OT: I’ve gotta try Wave Race 64 one day. Also has caught my eye…

Southern Hemisphere here so its bloody freezing haha (At least by our standards, I imagine much of the world would find it quite mild at 10C/50F but we're a hot country and our homes ain't built for the chill)

One of these days I really need to get around to giving Wave Race: Blue Storm a go, never did play it but it looks like something I'd enjoy as I did like the N64 game.

Ahh 10 degC the scorching days of Scandinavian summer :D

Jokes aside (we actually have had 20-25 degC during the days most of the summer and 7-15 degC during night) just a week and a half ago it hovered around 12-13 degC all day. 

103 degrees? That's so adorable. Try 110 in Phoenix. I kid, I kid. Not about the heat in Phoenix, but about the rest of it.

Wave Race 64 was really a technological marvel in its day.  I actually want to try Blue Storm since I missed it the first go-round.

Not a JetSki game, but Hydro Thunder was a pretty big game in its time.
