Epyx produced a number of games in the 80's with an Olympic sports setting, this is Winter Games, the top selling of them all. It was originally released in 1985 for the Commodore 64 but saw a port in 1987 to the Amiga. The Amiga version features improved graphics but with the same basic controls and concepts intact. This is my review for the Amiga version.

This is an American NTSC Amiga game and is best viewed and played in that mode.
