I do hate to be the jerk here, but this page keeps getting reposted just about annually - it started here almost a decade ago. I know that SkiFree was a memorable game, and it's nice that the programmer released it all those years ago. But really, while a nice diversion, this page just doesn't feel like it deserves to be on the front page of HN anymore.

So... why do HN members constantly repost it?

In my opinion, I don't see it being a "repost" epidemic.

So hide it?

This is the first time I've ever seen it.

Take a look there instead.

There are a number of submissions that follow a similar pattern. People discover them on their own and want to share. Not everyone checks the history to see if it's been posted before.
