The official game of the Games of the XXV Olympiad, held in Barcelona in 1992, includes seven different events: 100 m sprint, hammer throw, archery, 110 m hurdles, pole vault, springboard diving and 200m freestyle.
Gameplay features the typical button mashing formula used by Epyx in the 80s. The 100m sprint, 110m hurdles and 200m freestyle feature a button mashing sequence with only a few changes: in the hurdles, the player must press the action key to jump over an obstacle (timing defines the loss of speed) and in swimming the sequence takes more than 1.5 minutes and the action button touches the edge to the return swim. In these events, the player initially faces a semi-final and only advances to the final if they finish in the top half. It is possible to watch the other semi-finals. Hammer Throw combines a strong shuffling sequence, along with a precise press of the action button to release the hammer, while Pole Vault combines an initial shuffling sequence, a first down press to set the bar, then one press up and the action button to release the pole and jump over the bar. Archery is a technical event where the player has three rounds with six arrows each, the winner being the one with the highest score over the three rounds.
Player can choose to compete for eight nations: Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, hosts Spain, USA, Japan and CIS (formerly Soviet Union) . Each nation has its own sample of the anthem and a set of athletes to challenge the player. Each athlete is unique and will have different performances depending on the event: for some, he is able to break world records, for others, he has the chance to reach a final or a top 6. The competition is divided in two tables: sorted by medals and by total score (the gold medalist obtains 24 points, the 12th only 13).
