Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination has been updated for 2020! The book has been revised to include Skate Jam & THPS1+2, adding 8 pages and revising the rest to keep it current. It's also available on Kindle for the first time, all over the world. More info @ tonyhawksgamingdomination.co…
Fastest to reach 1 million units in franchise history? Not surprised at that number, but the speed? Oh, the things nostalgia do for you! This is an amazing statistic given the series' outlandish success in the early '00s.
It’s official – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is the fastest game to reach 1 million units sold-through in franchise history! Congrats @TonyHawk.
Today's comparison is Tony Hawk gazing over Skate Heaven. Vicarious Visions eschewed the world in the distance for a bright, vibrant, lively rendition of heaven itself. This game looks spectacular! #THPS12
Been thoroughly enjoying THPS1+2 and I'm wrapping up final touches on the book's update. Here's a comparison shot I'll be including. 20 years later - what a difference!!!

Folks... @THPSfilm is out tomorrow.
This skateboarding hall of famer not only had skills on the halfpipe, but @TheMuska showcased his talent in the studio as well! Nothing like finding your skating rhythm to some fresh Beatz!

I'm updating Tony Hawk's Gaming Domination and will re-issue it next month. The book will add chapters on Skate Jam & THPS1+2 and everything will be brought up to date. It will also finally be available on Kindle for those who prefer the format. Here's a THPS/THPS1+2 comparison.
In celebration of the new (old) THPS & THPS2 remake - here is a graphic I fashioned for the book. This is every Hawk model in every major game. One of so many cool images found within. September is going to be an exciting month!!!
I always said this would and could never happen. I was wrong... Guess I need to get ready to edit the book and ponder a second edition! ign.com//articles/2020/05/12…
@SFCompendium
My second book is now on sale! Check it out - it's got the same comprehensive attention to detail THGD has!
Today is the day! Street Fighter Compendium: Volume I - The Zero / Alpha Series is available! You can buy the 88-page book physically at Amazon in the U.S., Japan and throughout Europe. A digital PDF is available as well! All links at streetfightercompendium.com! Check it out!
A cleaned-up image of the THPS3D logo. This mobile version of THPS was shown at E3 in 2005, before it lost the "Mobile Edition" suffix. This game didn't support simultaneous button presses, rendering the trick system a mess. More info in this strange one in the book, of course!
Did you know? If Tony Hawk himself could choose any one bonus skater, who would he pick? As per our 2002 interview with him: Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes! More interesting, unique and stupid facts inside!
An awesome, 18-minute video by Rad Rat Video covers 26 unique & interesting facts from my book. It's funny: he used to read my site and now I follow his videos! The book is packed with tons more than even this! Enjoy if you haven't seen it yet! youtu.be/hx5WDZAgIz4
Neversoft President Joel Jewett was the driver of the golf cart in THPS2. He was replaced in THPS HD by the familiar favorite Officer Dick! The THPS2 picture here is a simple replacement allowing you to skate as the golf cart.
Did You Know? THPS2's iconic Hangar level was located in Tadzhikistan in early beta builds before moving to Mullet Falls, MT for the final release. Vicarious Visions changed that when they translated it to teh GBA and moved it to Meachem Field, TX.
We called him Rastaman in the old days, but he was given the official name Rastapopolous later on. Here you see the iconic skateshop owner in four games: playable in the THPS beta from 1999, in THPS2, THPS3 and later as a pre-created skater in THUG. That was his last appearance.
Meeting Of The Minds! @theslateman & @icebears4ever in Göteborg! One wrote a book on the Tony Hawk line of games, the other is making a feature-length documentary on skateboarding in the 90s and the Hawk games! Awesome day, man. Was fun getting to know you!
Did You Know? Rodney Mullen was the pro featured most in Hawk games - appearing in 10 titles. Reynolds was in 9 games and Burnquist 8. As for bonus skaters, the familiar Officer Dick made it into 7 games, complete with the kid-friendly name Officer Richard in Tony Hawk Shred.
Did You Know? Tony Alva was 48 years old when THAW shipped, making him the oldest pro in any Hawk game. Nyjah Huston, by contrast, was a mere 11-years-old when he first appeared in THP8 in 2006. He turned 12 three weeks later.
THGD now on sale in digital format! A PDF is now available at sellfy.com/p/0Uvp/ for those who want a portable Hawk experience! The physical version is far superior, but this has it all in a convenient format and at a convenient price! On sale now for $9.99!
THUG brought back 3 classic levels, but 3 more were in-progress and abandoned. The incomplete Downhill Jam, Philly and first School stage could be played via GameShark codes for those savvy enough. All 3 would be added to 2004's THUG2. (for you @PuNkY_PSB!)
