Gameplay
The game features four non-existent sci-fi themed Olympic games, in the vein of Epyx games like Summer Games (1984). The four events are Ring Chase, Tronic Slider, Brain Bowler, and Time Jump. The events can be practiced on their own, or played one after another in tournament mode, where if the player wins they get to see the queen of the tournament do a short dance around a pole.
Reception
ST/Amiga Format magazine gave the game high praise, awarding it a review score of 98%, and included a demo of the game on the magazine's coverdisk.[1]

gollark: Technically, you *could* use PingFS as swap.
gollark: But there are ALREADY bots which can probably be configured to spam rules when asked, or manage roles.
gollark: Also, it probably doesn't do anything interesting.
gollark: I feel like if your bot can be generated without actually writing code yourself it isn't very good in the first place.
