Play Salt Lake 2002 (U)(Mode7) Online

Salt Lake 2002 came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, developed by Attention to Detail and published by Eidos. It was part of a wave of sports titles on the handheld, offering a condensed Winter Olympics experience you could take anywhere. The game covers a range of events from the actual Salt Lake City games, giving players a chance to compete in events like bobsled, ski jumping, and snowboarding without much fuss.

You control an athlete in each event, with the main goal being to medal by outperforming computer opponents. Signature mechanics include timing-based button presses for maximizing speed or jump power, balancing your bobsled or skeleton sled through tricky turns, and nailing the landing in aerial events. The pacing is quick; events are short and focused, though some, like the downhill ski, demand precise control to avoid costly mistakes. It feels straightforward and responsive, a solid portable sports fix that holds up if you enjoy quick event based challenges.
