How has Athens 2004 not got a mention in the sports games yet? Get your socks at the ready it’s the 100m’s!

Yeah it was really good. Random sport I enjoyed was the showjumping but they had all sorts. I need to invest in the Tokyo 2020 game and see what’s changed in 16 years of Olympic gaming.

OutRun. Crikey good shout.

OutRun vs Cruisin’ World?

Essentially the latter is a rip off of the former I suspect.

OutRun is Sega yes? And the Cruisin’ series are the Nintendo equivalent? Only played them in arcades and pubs.

Nobody’s mentioned Manic Miner yet - although I mentioned Mr Do and I think someone mentioned Dig Doug.

Point Blank is my go-to when I'm at Arcade Club. Also Wonder Boy, R-Type, and whichever pinball machines I can get to.

Of course, I spend most of my time recapturing old glories on DDR, and chance my arm at some of the newer rhythm games they have, and VR when they're able to.
