1984 Dinamic Software (Spain)
by Snatcho, Santiago Morga and Luis Rodriguez Soler
This game is obviously inspired by Konami's arcade classic "Track & Field" like so many other clones of the time.
It's not the best to have been made by any means, but it's playable enough, specially if you enjoy this sort of Olympic themed games. I myself am a fan of these games and have playable countless similar games, and although this is one of the weakest efforts, it's still provided me a few happy moments. It's a bit simple looking with clumsy play, and once you look at the original cover tape you quickly realized how amateurish the authors were. It's clearly a retouched copy of another image with the heads swapped off for new ones (and quite ugly too).

The Olympics may have been postponed but it doesn't mean we can't have any Olympic joy in 2020, just go back and watch London 2012 and Super Saturday all over again if as we're not sick of it already. Or alternatively just play a randomly selected Olympics game from Spain instead, well I say Spain I'm playing the Mastertronic English version but still it's from Spain. And it has the Superman theme in the beginning which I found hilarious. This is a bit of an odd one for the Olympic style of games as in this one you only have one button to press rather than two which I suppose works as you don't have to deal with any rhythmic problems and it's just rapidly press your button as quick as you can. It looks a bit crude but it plays a bit alright. At least it's much better than whatever Track and Field was meant to be anyway.
