Okay, so Winter Olympics on the Sega Genesis is one of those early sports games that somehow makes button-mashing feel like an actual event. You pick your country (I always went with Norway for no real reason) and then jump into events like downhill skiing, figure skating, and bobsled—all with that classic, janky 16-bit physics.

The skiing controls are weirdly stiff at first, but once you get the rhythm of tapping left and right to dodge flags, it clicks. Bobsled is pure chaos—you’re just holding down a button and praying you don’t wipe out on a turn. And figure skating? Let’s just say my pixelated athlete looked more like a drunk penguin than an Olympian.

It’s got that early ‘90s charm where everything’s a little rough around the edges, but there’s something satisfying about shaving milliseconds off your time or finally nailing a clean ski jump. If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a fun little time capsule—just don’t expect Frostbite Engine-level realism.
