Alright, so Carl Lewis: Athletics 2000 is one of those old-school Game Boy Color sports games that’s way more intense than it looks. You pick from a handful of track and field events—sprints, long jump, javelin—and mash buttons like your life depends on it. The controls are simple (mostly just rapid-fire A-button presses), but good luck not cramping up after a few races.

It’s got that early 2000s charm with pixelated Carl Lewis cheering you on, and the AI opponents somehow feel both too easy and unfairly fast at the same time. The long jump is weirdly satisfying once you get the timing down, though. Just don’t expect deep mechanics—this is pure arcade-style track chaos.

If you’re into retro sports games, it’s a fun little time capsule, but be ready for some sore thumbs afterward.
