Overview

The video game released in 1986, titled European Games, is a relatively obscure entry in the gaming world. Developed for early home computer systems, it featured a collection of mini-games that aimed to simulate various Olympic-style events set within a European context.

Gameplay

The game consisted of several sports-themed mini-games, such as running, swimming, and cycling. Each event was designed to test the player’s speed and coordination, often requiring quick reflexes to succeed. The graphics were quite basic, even by the standards of the mid-1980s, largely using simple sprites and limited color palettes.

Legacy

Despite its lack of widespread popularity, the game is remembered by a small community of retro gaming enthusiasts. Its contribution to the multi-event sports genre was minimal, and it did not have a significant impact on future game designs. However, for collectors and historians, it provides an interesting glimpse into the early attempts at simulating athletic competitions in video games.
