Play Olympic Gold Online
Nailing the long jump’s timing feels like wrestling the D-pad, then watching your tiny athlete faceplant in the sand. Better with a friend—nothing like both of you button-mashing the 100m dash wrong the whole time.
Olympic Gold came out for the Sega Master System in 1992, published by U.S. Gold. It was one of the many sports titles trying to capture the energy of the Barcelona games on a system that was already seeing its library slow down. You got a decent mix of events without much flair, just straightforward competition.
You control an athlete across seven events like the 100m dash, long jump, and javelin. The main goal is to medal in each one, building up a total score. The mechanics are simple; timing your button presses for the sprint, holding a direction for the long jump run-up, then releasing at the right moment. It's not a deep game, and the controls can feel uncooperative, leading to a lot of frustrating attempts. Playing it feels like a constant struggle against the hardware's limitations.
