Winter Challenge on the Sega Genesis is one of those early '90s sports compilations that somehow makes bobsledding feel intense. You pick from eight winter events—figure skating, speed skating, ski jumping, the whole deal—and each one controls differently enough that you’ll fumble at first. The downhill skiing’s janky but weirdly satisfying once you get the hang of swerving between flags, and the bobsled physics are just chaotic enough to make crashes hilarious.
Graphics are pure 16-bit nostalgia, with chunky pixelated snow and athletes who look like they’re wearing cardboard skis. The music? Cheesy synth trumpets that somehow fit perfectly. Multiplayer’s where it shines—nothing like shoving your friend off the ski jump at the last second. It’s not the deepest sports sim, but for a quick, chaotic winter Olympics fix, it holds up better than you’d expect.
