Play Olympic Summer Games (USA, Europe) on gb Online

Konami released Olympic Summer Games for the Game Boy in 1992, a time when handheld sports games were often stripped down but still offered a decent dose of competition. It was one of those cartridges you'd slide in when you wanted something quick and straightforward, without the depth of an RPG or the precision of a platformer.

You pick an athlete from a selection of countries and compete across events like the 100 meter dash, swimming, and the high jump. Each event uses its own simple control scheme; button mashing drives your runner forward, while timed presses gauge your jumps and dives. The main goal is to medal in each event, and the challenge comes from getting the rhythm right rather than complex strategy. It feels responsive in short bursts, though some events can feel repetitive after a while. Playing it gives you that satisfying, no frills arcade feel of early portable sports titles.
