[Internazionale]

Are any these games good ?

Winter Olympics. Torino 2006. It's on today's released (January 24th)

Summer Olympics. Athens 2004.

probably not man, seems like a waste of time and money

It's somewhat fun, if you want to screw up your fingers...

nothing compares to the old 2d olympics games.

and gamepad/keyboard, or whatever it is that you're using, buttons

From what I've heard all the olympic games are crap. Don't know about Torino 2006 yet, but I can't imagine it will be any good though.

I have Sidney 2000 for PC, I thought it was a good game then. But it really isn't.

 

[Internazionale]

that's too bad. Pressing button(s) fastly & repeatedly aren't the ones that I want to play with.

I'm expecting other sport companies like EA Sports would like to make these sorts of game...

if you're pissed and you have lots of mates round, Athens is likely to be the best laugh you may ever have.

Course, if you're home alone with no friends, it's hellishly boring.

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Stay away from Athens 2004; it's made by 989 Sports, that's enough reason to stay away.

Sega has gotten the rights to make Beijing 2008. The list of what we will be in it is quite long, 26 different sports will be there. Hopefully they make it good, and not just hurries it out like all the other olympic games.

 

[Can't stop the rush...]

Just like Tom said, it's pretty fun if you got a bunch of friends over.

Otherwise, its

Summer Games (US Gold)
Winter Games (US Gold)
Track and Field

That's all you need, really. Pick up an emulator, the roms and bash your keyboard about like a bad mistress.

Review of Torino 2006

 

[Internazionale]

screenshots are pretty impressive.

better luck next time, 2K Sports.

 

[Filipower]

well, it's a nice concept, but sh*tty game really..hope they can make them better in the future..

this was an addictive game though:

Olympic Summer Games Atlanta '96 for Genesis(Mega Drive)..freakin legend..those alternate A and B combinations to run...class

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Just to reiterate, Olympic Games are notorious for being terrible, annoying, rushed, button mashing titles.

Except "The Carl Lewis Challenge" which I had for my old 486 computer WAAAAAAAY back in the day.

 

[Zlatan]

Gotta love "Winter" made in +- 1992 for DOS. Still play it every now and then .

 

[Andreas]

Athens was pretty good IMO (the multiplayer part at least). After what I've heard, Torino 2006 is SHlT.

 

[emmer]

i had good times with olympic gold - barcelona '92 for genesis.
only w/ multiplayer, of course.
