   I remember Winter Games for the Atari 2600. It was a good title for that platform and was fun to play. Had a great time competing with friends in the various events. One of the better games for the 2600.

   Here’s some footage of the game I found on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCGvQPuICfI

   The Angry Video Game Nerd did a hilarious review of the terrible NES port of Winter Games.

   I had a lot of fun with Epyx Winter Games on the IBM PCjr (I think the bobsled was my favorite). I also liked being able to hear the various national anthems…

   I remember how these games would wreck joysticks. I played the C64 version and if I remember correctly you had to load each event separately from tape.

   The key to these Olympic gams was having the right joystick. The Epyx Stick was the best. Played the C64 versions for many many hours. Up to 8 players could compete, so having a bunch of friends over was fun.

   Oh man!! Only played the winter games.

   I was disappointed in the fact there were only 7. Nobody but me could do the long jump. What fun!

   I played this on the Apple IIGS in 93 and 94. Oh, the winters in the computer lab at high school.
