Zzap64 Preview May 1988
People all around the world have spent months, years and, in the case of the athletes
themselves, lifetimes preparting for this momentous event. And now you can be a part of
the excitement yourself. Not just by stitting in front of your television, but by
actually competing in computerized simulations of these historic events.
Select from four different collision courses - where every turn is a test of reflexes,
timing and nerves - in THE LUGES events.
Choose your own music and your own choreography when you enter the FIGURE SKATING event.
Muster all your strength and endurance to put yourself ahead of the game in SPEED SKATING.
Go from 0 to 60 in the lightning-fast DOWNHILL SKIING races - complete with your own
strategically placed video cameras. Make your way through one of the four progressively
difficult courses in the SLALOM. Sail through the air in the daring SKI JUMP.
Or cross the threshold of pain in the CROSS COUNTRY event.
No matter which events you choose to compete in, one thing is certain:
It's going to take great practice, patience and plain ord hard work for the Gold.
But, you can do it. And what's more, you're going to have a great time trying!
