Winter Supersports 1992

Winter Supersports 1992 packages several cold-weather sporting events into a single collection, giving players the chance to compete without actually having to leave a warm room. The different events test timing, reflexes, and familiarity with their controls, creating a varied experience despite the relatively simple technology available at the time. The emphasis is firmly on competition rather than simulation, so you can get into a contest quickly and start chasing better results. The graphics may look quaint now, but they have a certain period charm, particularly when you remember that computers once had to work surprisingly hard to draw a skier moving down a slope. The game is most enjoyable with several players taking turns, because nothing motivates improvement quite like watching someone else beat your record. Winter Supersports 1992 is uncomplicated retro sports entertainment: snowy, competitive, occasionally frustrating, and perfectly happy to let you blame the keyboard when things go wrong.
