First release: 1982
Developer: Beam Software
Publisher: Melbourne House, Sinclair Research
Genres: Platform, Sport · Action
Platforms: ZX Spectrum, PC (Microsoft Windows), Commodore C64/128/MAX, Dragon 32/64

In 1982 Tang also produced Horace Goes Skiing. In it, Horace must cross a dangerous road teeming with traffic to rent out a pair of skis, à la Frogger, get back over the road and successfully navigate a ski course. This title is not a true sequel, as it does not follow on from an original story and is only similar in that it features the same character. Like Hungry Horace, this title was available on the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Dragon 32. As before, Sinclair distributed the Spectrum version, Melbourne House the Commodore 64 and Dragon 32 versions.
