Winter Games is a sports title that was released on numerous other systems including the Atari 7800 (1987).
+ Bobsled has a good sense of speed and it's fun trying to shave off milliseconds by taking corners at the perfect angle.
- Figure Skating is a mess with its needlessly complex controls that aren't properly explained in the manual.
- Hot Dog Aerials pails in comparison to Atari 7800's Ski Jump, as it strips away the complexity and skill of landing.
- A few more events would have increased the game's longevity, as the four events won't hold your attention for long.
- CPU contestants don't join you in the single player leaderboard, and continuously winning gold feels rather soulless.
- Presentation is super basic, with the dull Speed Skating event looking (and sounding) like an Atari 2600 game.
