Winter Olympics: Lillehammer '94 is one of those early '90s sports games that somehow makes bobsledding feel intense. You pick from a handful of events—downhill skiing, ski jumping, speed skating—and the controls are simple but weirdly satisfying once you get the timing down. The ski jump in particular has this janky momentum where you’re just praying your guy sticks the landing.
Graphics are what you’d expect from a Genesis title: blocky athletes, icy blues everywhere, and that classic Sega screechy soundtrack. It’s not deep, but there’s something oddly addictive about shaving milliseconds off your luge run or faceplanting halfway down the slope. If you’ve got a friend around, the two-player mode turns into a hilarious competition of who can fail the least dramatically.
Definitely a nostalgia trip for anyone who remembers renting this from Blockbuster back in the day.
