/vr/ - Retro Games

Everyone always compares JSR to Tony Hawk, but later THPS games did take a few elements from JSR. Most notably, the car hitchiking mechanic from JSR is used in Underground and a few games after that. Wasteland has graffiti.
If you want another game that might scratch that JSR itch, check out Tony Hawk's American Sk8land for the DS. Its basically a port of American Wasteland for the DS, but with a simpler storyline and a mid 2000's Newgrounds/DA artstyle(which I find kind of charming). The graphics are celshaded and there's graffiti tagging and it has aforementioned car riding mechanic. For an early DS game where a lot of devs were still figuring out how to best use the system, I found it a lot of fun. Also lets you record voice samples and draw your own graffiti, IIRC.
