Winter Games

Also known as: N/A

Developer: Epyx

Epyx brought its popular Winter Games to the Atari 2600 when Atari made the attempt to resurrect its dead system in the late 80s. The end result wasn't too bad at all – in fact it was very impressive considering the platform that the game was released on. A variety of winter olympic events like skiing and bobsledding are packed into this single Atari cart and help make the game have more replay value than it would otherwise. It's one of the better sports games on the Atari VCS, in my opinion. It’s a solid game for the console, regardless of genre, honestly. It’s just a shame that it was released when nearly everybody had already moved on to bigger and better video game systems.
