Konamic Sports in Barcelona is one of those early Game Boy sports games that feels charmingly rough around the edges. You get a mix of events like track and field, swimming, and gymnastics—all with that classic Konami jank. The controls take some getting used to (good luck nailing the triple jump timing), but there’s something oddly satisfying about how simple and straightforward it is.
It’s definitely a product of its time—the pixelated athletes have that stiff, exaggerated animation, and the events are over in seconds. Still, if you’re into retro sports games, it’s a neat little time capsule. Just don’t expect anything close to realism.
You can play it on emulators these days, but honestly, it’s best enjoyed with low expectations and a nostalgic grin.
