Original release date: August 31, 1999
Platform: PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3
Tony Hawk's awesome "Pro Skater" put you on a board and sent you off throughout various cities, trying to complete missions. By stringing together awesome tricks, like aerials and ollies, you could rack up the points to be a true pro skater. The game also featured a great soundtrack and some big names in skateboarding, like Bam Margera and Bob Burnquist.
There were several sequels and spin-offs, but our favorite has to be "Pro Skater 2," which added more mechanics and more modes than the original, while also featuring some of the best levels and music across the series.
