Flo-Boarding

Cover art

A snowboarding game developed by Finnish studio Housemarque and bundled with European N-Gage units at launch in October 2003, making it the first game ever included with the device. Set across Finnish mountain courses, it is a simplified adaptation of Housemarque's earlier PC title Supreme Snowboarding (1999).

Flo-Boarding was never sold at retail in North America — it was a PAL-territory-only pack-in exclusive, released in Germany and the UK. Its narrative framing involved a character named Flo who comes to Finland on holiday, has her phone stolen, and must win a snowboarding tournament to recover it. As a direct precursor to Housemarque's later trajectory — Super Stardust HD (2007), Resogun (2013), Returnal (2021), and eventual Sony acquisition — it represents an early and relatively obscure chapter in the studio's history. Supreme Snowboarding itself had been notable as one of the first PC snowboarding games to fully exploit 3D graphics hardware.
