T & C Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage

Wood and Water Rage NES is the full name of T&C Surf Designs, a skateboarding and surfing game developed by Atlus and published by LJN in February 1988. It stars the Town & Country Surf Designs mascots known as "Da Boys". This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.

About Wood and Water Rage on the NES

The game is named after Town & Country Surf Designs, a real surfboard maker. Its four mascots are the playable characters: skaters Joe Cool and Tiki Man, and surfers Kool Kat and Thrilla Gorilla.

There are three events. Street Skate Session is a timed skateboard run through an obstacle course. Holding Left grips the board to slow down, and pressing A performs an ollie. An ollie over a rail starts a grind, and a well-timed ollie on a ramp sends you much farther.

Big Wave Encounter is the surfing event. You try to survive a huge wave, dodge hazards and grab bananas for points. Reaching the pier at the end of a round earns a 1,000-point bonus plus 100 points for each life left. The third event, Wood and Water Rage, switches between skating and surfing each round. Each team pairs one skater with one surfer: Joe Cool with Thrilla Gorilla, or Tiki Man with Kool Kat. The teams compete, and scores carry over between the two sports.

Which T&C Game Is This?

There are two T&C games on the NES. This is the first one, a sports game with separate skate and surf events. The 1992 sequel, Thrilla's Surfari, drops the events and turns Thrilla Gorilla into the hero of a single-player action game. Both carts use the Town & Country name and characters. If you want the four-character lineup and scored contests, this first cart is the one to pick.
