Play Herbie at the Olympics Online

Herbie at the Olympics is one of those arcade games that somehow makes running, jumping, and throwing feel way more chaotic than it should. You control this little guy—Herbie—as he stumbles through Olympic events with the grace of a cartoon character who just drank three espressos. The hurdles? More like "barely survive the hurdles." The javelin throw? Let’s just say physics wasn’t the developer’s top priority.

It’s got that old-school charm where everything’s just slightly off—the controls are janky in a way that makes you laugh instead of rage, and the pixel art has this weirdly endearing quality. You’ll fail spectacularly at first, but then suddenly, you’re weirdly invested in getting Herbie to the finish line without face-planting. It’s short, silly, and honestly kind of addictive once you get into the rhythm of its nonsense.

If you’ve got a soft spot for arcade games that don’t take themselves too seriously, this one’s a solid pick.
