The Games: Winter Edition

1988
RacingSimulatorSport
This 1988 sports title distilled the thrill of the Winter Olympics into a series of bite-sized events, each a distinct test of skill and precision. The deceptively simple controls of events like ski jumping and bobsledding demanded mastery of timing and momentum, rewarding practice with satisfying victories. Its lasting appeal lies in the competitive spirit it fostered, as players repeatedly chased personal bests and challenged friends across a range of winter disciplines.

About The Games: Winter Edition

Details
The Games - Winter Edition is the follower of Winter Games. Epyx has chosen a new selection of events. Some events were already available in Winter Games, while others are new in The Games. Together with the Winter Games is The Games a nice collection of Olympic disciplines. As it was common with sports games of that time, there are some disciplines that call on the player to destroy the joystick by jolting it too much. The game is designed for up to 8 players. The players receive points for successfully ending a discipline. For each gold medal you get 5 points, for each silver medal 3 points and one point for each bronze medal. The player with the most points wins the game. Epyx has secured a license from the Olympic Commitee of the United States for The Games - Winter Edition and The Games - Summer Edition. The disciplines are partially divided into several sections in which the player has to do another action with the joystick.
