*– GAME OVERVIEW –*

_Winter Games_ for the Nintendo Entertainment System is a collection of sports mini-games based on the Winter Olympics. It was ported by Atelier Double and published by Acclaim. The game was released in North America in September 1987.

• A follow-up to the highly successful _Summer Games_ (1984) and _Summer Games II_ (1985), Epyx first brought _Winter Games_ to the Commodore 64 (C64) home computer in North America in October 1985.
◦ It was ported to various video game consoles and Western home computers throughout the 1980s. The Commodore 64 version was also made available for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console (VC) service in Europe on February 20, 2009.

• In the absence of an official license from the International Olympic Committee, _Winter Games_ is presented as a multi-sport carnival called the "Epyx Winter Games".

• In _Winter Games,_ players choose a country to represent and then compete in various events to try to set a world record.
◦ Compared to the Commodore 64 original, the NES port is missing a few events. The following four are included: Hot Dog Aerials, Speed Skating, Figure Skating and Bobsled.
