Olympic Gold for the Sega Genesis is that weirdly charming official tie-in to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. You get six events—some solid (archery feels surprisingly tense), some janky (good luck figuring out the pole vault timing). The graphics are exactly what you'd expect from an early '90s sports game: blocky athletes with questionable animations, but hey, that sprinter's determined face is kinda endearing.

What's funny is how the controls alternate between "this actually works" and "why would they map it like that?" The swimming event has you mashing buttons like your life depends on it, while the long jump... well, let's just say I still don't fully understand the approach mechanics. It's the kind of game you play for nostalgia or to laugh at with friends, not for serious competition. If you remember renting this as a kid, it's way more fun than it has any right to be.
