The Games '92: Espana PC

The Games '92: Espana is a sports game produced by Creative Materials for Ocean, which refers to the Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona. As a trainer and competitor in one, the player will take part in a number of sports competitions and will try to reach for as many medals as possible.

The game is divided into three parts. In the first of them - coaching - we take control over a group of twelve players, whom we direct to the gym and establish a cycle of exercises to increase their form. All decisions taken here will have an impact on the final disposition of athletes during the relevant competitions. When the time spent on training is over, your pupils compete in nearly thirty competitions covering a wide range of disciplines (athletics, combat sports, swimming, weightlifting, etc.). This part is purely dexterity and consists mainly of pressing the cursor keys from time to time by hitting the Space bar. The last element of the game is a rich encyclopedia, covering not only a short history of all modern Summer Olympic Games (until 1992), but also a description of the places where competitions were held in Barcelona.

The visual luminaire is on a decent level and you can't have any major objections to it. One disadvantage is the poor animation of the players, but the varied backgrounds and the pleasant appearance of the subsequent elements of the program, compensates for this disadvantage with more than enough effort. The Games '92: Esperanto is a solid, extensive game (among the thirty-six countries participating in the struggle there is even Poland, which at that time did not happen too often) and diverse, mainly due to the large number of competitors and the introduction of factors related to the work of a trainer.
