It features three different courses to select, alongside a standard race mode and a time-attack mode where the player must pass through gates to replenish a time limit. The player uses a handlebar controller to move a skier down a course situated on a snow-covered mountain, the objective being to make it to the end of the course without falling off the slope or colliding with obstacles.
It ran on the Namco System 22 arcade hardware. It had a limited release in December 1994, followed by a wide release in July 1995. A replay of the run with different perspectives is shown after the game is over.Alpine Racer is a racing sports video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. In the gate racing mode the skier has to pass as many gates as possible, but missing gates does not lead to disqualification. There are three environments to choose from, each representing a different difficulty level (novice, intermediate or expert) and each slope is split up into different sections separated by gates that extend time in the race mode. The game contains two game modes, either speed racing to reach the finish before computer-controlled opponents do or gate racing as a race against time. There is also an edging element when the pressure applied to the inside and outside edges of the foot stands are measured, as an additional means to control speed. It is played on a large cabinet where the player stands on a set of ski-like foot stands that are moved with horizontal motions to steer and taking corners while holding onto two bars for stability.
