Show notes
- TAKE ON THE WORLD!
- Introductions
- Welcome to the offbeat Olympics
- It feels like I’m playing this on a computer. You guys know what I mean?
- Gameplay
- Weightlifting (Russia)
- No buttons, just d-pads
- Slalom skiing (France)
- Rare only published so it’s not quite the Slalom we want
- Log rolling (Canada)
- Lack of sound during the game
- Computer significantly stronger than other modes
- The Shark
- Cliff diving (Mexico)
- Too easy? Again a lack of buttons
- Caber toss (Scotland)
- I don’t want to offend any Scotts but is this the best they got?
- It feels like I’m doing nothing helpful
- Bull riding (United States)
- I could try to explain what you need to do but I’m the least qualified
- The gfx of the bull and the movement of the bull are not the easiest tells
- Barrel jumping (Germany)
- The rhythm of the skate is harder but landing is much easier than figure skating in winter games
- Sumo Wrestling (Japan)
- Weightlifting (Russia)
- Are these the best games they could’ve picked?
- The small amount of controls
- Sequels and Spinoffs
- The last of the games releases, but not the last for us
- We played Winter Games, but we still have to play California Games
- The last of the games releases, but not the last for us
