About the Game

The Games in Canada. People all around the world have spent months, years and, in the case of the athletes themselves, lifetimes preparing for this momentous event. And now you can be a part of the excitement yourself.

Originally created in 1988, this game brought the excitement of the Winter Games to MSDOS computers.

Created by the masters of sports simulation, Epyx, this game contains 7 winter events to chase the Gold in:

  • Luge
  • Figure Skating
  • Speed Skating
  • Downhill Skiing
  • Slalom
  • Ski Jump
  • Cross Country

No matter which events you choose to compete in, one thing is certain: it's going to take great practice, patience and plain old hard work to go for the Gold.

But you can do it. And what's more, you're going to have a great time trying!
