Athens 2004 PC

Official sports game of the Olympic Games in Athens, which was prepared by the International Sports Multimedia in cooperation with the International Olympic Committee.

The game contains as many as seven Olympic arenas, faithfully reproduced on the basis of photographs and architectural plans. Among the facilities there were not only buildings specially prepared for the Olympics, but also the ancient Panathinaiko stadium, where shooting contests took place. The program enables up to four people to play simultaneously in the following athletic disciplines: upward jump, long jump, triple jump, disc throw, hammer throw, javelin throw and pole jump. In addition, there are several running competitions (including two through obstacles) and a decathlon. Swimming enthusiasts should also be satisfied, as they have been given the opportunity to run at four different distances. The richness of disciplines is complemented by shooting, weightlifting, archery, horse riding through obstacles and artistic gymnastics.

The most important thing associated with this type of games is intuitive and trouble-free control. With so many disciplines, the authors of the game managed to avoid surprised patterns and offer solutions that can be quickly and easily mastered. Unfortunately, sometimes we can't do without traditional keystroke catching, which appears in several competitions and determines the speed of movement of our player. The audiovisual side of Athens 2004 is virtually impeccable. In particular, the refined silhouettes of athletes and a realistic model of their movement may appeal to you.
