Olympic Skier

Olympic Skier is the only game we asked Judy to look at which didn't include track and field events. This game is really a simulation of the Winter Olympics where competitors have to take part in the slalom, downhill and ski-jump.

Great graphics. For some reason, I enjoyed this game more than the track and field games. It combines elements of a driving game as you have to steer the skier through obstacles.

Ski-ing is also easier to portray and very much more realistic than track and field events. Any game gets monotonous if you play it enough, but this one's more fun than the others.
