Videogames that are Olympic base are not all that. The only one that did anything for me is probably the NES game where you have to use the mat. The Sega Saturn had one ( which I sadly own ) and while playable I say meh. It looks good on a first glance. I find it is a stupid idea to create an expansion the NES and market some Olympic based mascot.
People think the Olympics are great but in reality it is what the people practice ( like Gymastics. ) Have you seen a sixty year old stand on his hands. Well I have a photo of that. He is probably healther then me. Then the sad reality is many people ( like anybody ) do not have a clear goal in life and the Olympics is that one thing they do have. After that is nothing.
I have nothing against sports majors at all. I find those Olympic games ( non interactive ) ones not to be the thrill of the real deal.
