Olympic Gold (Japan) is one of those early '90s sports games that feels like a time capsule—specifically, the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, complete with pixelated athletes and that classic Sega Genesis chiptune energy. You pick from a handful of events—track, swimming, gymnastics—and mash buttons like your life depends on it. The controls are simple, but nailing the timing for, say, the long jump or the uneven bars takes some practice (and maybe a few rage quits).

It’s not the deepest sports sim, but there’s something charming about how janky some of the animations are, especially when your sprinter stumbles out of the blocks or your diver belly-flops into the pool. The two-player mode is where it really shines, though—nothing like beating your friend by a millisecond in the 100m dash and watching them lose it. Definitely a nostalgia trip if you grew up with the Genesis.
