Olimpiadas 92: Atletismo
Developed by:
Topo Soft
Topo Soft was one of the most professional Spanish companies in the 8-bit era, in special since the incorporation of Gabriel Nieto to its directive in 1988. During the years from 1987 to 1992, they developed a great number of games for Spectrum, MSX and Amstrad CPC computers, most of them best sellers (Emilio Butragueño Fútbol, a soccer game, sold 100,000 copies in Spain alone). It was also, next to Dinamic, the company with most significant international distribution and visibility. Their biggest success Mad Mix Game (a Pac-Man gaming style adapted wisely to current times), was used by Pepsi for a competition in Japan (this was an incredible feat for Spanish software), and they even won Gremlins 2 royalties after a stiff competition with the major software companies.

Description
Olimpiadas 92: Atletismo is a sports simulation, based on the 1992 Olympics held in Barcelona. It comprises all the athletic events held in the Barcelona Olympics such as the 100-meter sprint,
long jump, High Jump, Triple jump, 110-meter hurdle race, and Pole Vaulting. The game was developed and published by Toposoft the same year as the Olympic event. It runs on the DOS platform.
There are six teams participating in the events- the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Spain, Germany, and the United States. The player can choose to play as part of any of the six teams and
defeat their opponent in the games. There are practice modes available before every competition where the player can train for the upcoming event. Scores are displayed on the screen at every
event. The Player gets a third-person side view perspective of the events. The game can be controlled with the keyboard, and sometimes the player needs to press two keys at once to run and
jump at the same time. If controls are not handled properly, there is a chance for the player to get injured and disqualified from competing in further rounds. Due to Olimpiadas 92 being a
Spanish endeavor, the game language is Spanish. The game was released merely as promotional material and a way to commemorate the 1992 Barcelona games. The gameplay is simple with very little
variety in the levels or customization. Nevertheless, it is a decent recreation of the Olympic events and the athletic prowess displayed by the teams of different nations.
