Description

'Video Olimpic' (or 'Video Olympics', as it was called in the United Kingdom), is a quite blatant copy of the very famous 'Track & Field' by Konami, which was triumphing at that time in arcades around the world. The tests are not in the same order in one game and another, but they are ultimately the same: 100m, long jump, javelin throw, hammer throw, 110m hurdles... Furthermore, another detail that makes it clear what Nacho Ruiz's inspiration was is that he no longer only uses the traditional Konami method of degrees of inclination and so on, but for example the hammer test has an identical development: you give it Press the button to start, let the solo pick up speed, and when it is in the position you think is correct, you must press the trigger until you reach the appropriate setting for a perfect launch.

Leaving aside these secondary things (at that time they were without a doubt), it must be said that the dynamics of the game are very simple, so you will only need to use the right cursor and space to control the protagonist athlete, being quite easy to take control of the game.
