Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Sales

This is an image from the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater game. In 1999, Tony Hawk released his first video game, Tony Hawk Pro Skater. This was the beginning of what is now a video game worth well over $1 billion today. The game consisted of players doing impossible tricks and stunts that inspired thousands to go out and try skateboarding in real life. The impact of this video game is almost immeasurable as still, 20 years later, another video game was recently released. This video game has allowed inspiration for people for years and many describe the nostalgia that comes from playing the game. The game allows people to remember their childhood, their favorite game, and the first time they picked up a skateboard.
