Publisher: U.S. Gold
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 0
Gameplay Notes:
Seven events: 100M - Alternate mashing A & B. Don't false start. The computer frequently false starts. Super annoying. Hurdles - See 100M description, but with the added bonus of having to press C to jump. Utterly impossible. Pole vault - Again, alternate to run but there's another guage which I can't seem to affect. So I run up to the pit, plants my pole, and stop dead in my tracks. I give up. Swimming - You'll never guess how to play this one. Moving on. Hammer Throw - Baffling. All three buttons are used, but how is anyone's guess. More mashing Diving - Uggh, I can't take this. How do you do this crap? Archery - At least this one is understandable. Aim at the target and wait for the bouncing reticle to be somewhat near the center. Good luck, but at least it's only one button press.
Level Design Score: 1

There are lots of events, although most are just mashing. My thumbs and forearms are killing me.
