Curling in Video Games

[hydr0x]

Obviously there are no dedicated curling games around

at least in Europe there's this recent release for PC (20 bucks)

Here is one, it isn't really serious curling though.

Wow, I'll have to check these out, although I'm not very into PC gaming so I'd probably be more likely to play Nagano '98... Any idea if either of these have any licenses or anything tied to them? ie, are there actually REAL teams in there you can play as, or do you just make your own teams from scratch? Can you actually do international tournaments?

curling is awesome, but I don't understand the point of the person that just screams.

The skip? The one standing behind the "house" (the target rings) shouts out orders to the 2 sweepers and is in charge of guaging how fast the stone is going and calling for the right amount of sweeping to get the stone to stop in exactly the right place. When it's the skip's turn to throw, the vice-skip calls the sweeping.

Anyone have or play this? How english-friendly is it?

[Ed Oscuro]

Okay, that's it. You should be able to skip the stone across the ice, like a pebble. Yes, it's 42 pounds...uh, make it lighter so no scary ladies are playing

:P

Anyhow, thanks for all the curling information, people. o_O

this is what I love about the time around the olympics - interest in sports that usually get no glory.

The only specific curling game I remember was a crappy freeware game for Win3.1 called "Curling Is A Sport!"

Boy, how could it not succeed with a name like that?

I agree about the DS being the perfect platform for a curling game.

After searching for all most 2 weeks I finally found an awesome curling game for PC!!! After watching Curling on TV from the Olympics, I decided to call all around town looking for the Torino Winter Olympics PC game. After calling around and talking to a few people I found out that the game does not include Curling. I was very dissapointed and I was anxious to purchase a PDA format for my computer. Ebay had a listing for a Curling game, but I dont trust anybody from Ebay so I didnt purchase the game. I FINALLY FOUND WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR!!!
IT'S CALLED SHOTSTONE for PC it cost $15 and the game is very realistic. I love playing the demo even though you only get 10 minutes of gameplay. But you can keep restarting the game after you throw around a couple of rocks. Thank you for mentioning that you played curling on N64 and GameCUBE I am going to find the rom files so I can play on my computer. Thank You and Good Luck Curling! Your New Curling Friend - JACK -

Thete should be a new Winter Games for Atari and curling shpuld be one if the events. Could you imagine the broken joysticks?

I can't wait until shuffleboard becomes an Olympic sport....

I actually belonged to a curling club in high school! It's a lot of fun to play (and like bowling, there's a lot of drinking involved, although mostly after, not during; keeping your balance on ice while wearing teflon on your feet is hard enough sober) but I can't watch it.

There was a lot of heavy drinking in a high school curling club?

There was a shuffleboard game for Windows 3.1, I have a copy somewhere. It was pretty fun actually.


Anyway, there were some curling games for the DS, including Curling DS which came out in November 2006.
