Best: Any Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater

With a soundtrack that’s probably still playing at your local headshop and a delightful arcade feel that persists throughout its many iterations, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater seems like it was cooked up in a weed lab. There’s something so wonderfully soothing about burning down a j before nailing a 900 in a drained public school pool while almost imperceptibly bobbing your head to Primus, something so satisfying about the little “pss pss” sound of the spraypaint can while you mess around in the Graffiti game mode.
And again, those soundtracks. It unifies stoners of all cultures, bringing a little audio treat for everyone. You want some ska? We got it. How about a little punk? It’s here. Thrash around to some thrash rock. American Wasteland gave us an entire soundtrack of punk rock covers from punk-adjacent ‘00s bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, while Underground’s massive soundtrack had Deltron 2030, NOFX, Fu Manchu, and more. Shit’s lit.
