Let me start by saying that I’ve pretty jazzed to see BMX in the Olympics but I’m sick and tired of reading these articles in the press and hearing others complain about it. Don’t get me wrong. I love that BMX is getting any mainstream press but as a former professional rider [...]
Saying Russia’s attack on Georgia in 2008 must have consequences, one group is asking people worldwide to sign an online petition and demand that the 2014 Winter Olympics be moved from Sochi, Russia, to a new site. Though the folks behind the group are not identified on the petition site, others involved in the effort are not so mysterious. Two members of Congress from Pennsylvania — Reps.

Winter Games is a sports video game developed by Epyx (and released in Europe by U.S. Gold), based on sports featured in the Winter Olympic Games.
A snow-and-ice themed follow-up to the highly successful Summer Games, Winter Games was released in 1986 for the Commodore 64 and later ported to several popular home computers and video game consoles of the 1980s.
The game was presented as a virtual multi-sport carnival called the "Epyx Winter Games" (there was no official IOC licensing in place) with up to 8 players each choosing a country to represent, and then taking turns competing in various events to try for a medal.
Events
The events available vary slightly depending on the platform, but include some or all of the following:
Alpine skiing
Ski jumping
Biathlon
Bobsled
Figure skating
Speed skating
Luge
Freestyle skiing; more precisely, the aerial skiing discipline, called "Hot Dog" in the game.
The game allowed you to compete in all of the events sequentially, choose a few events, choose just one event, or practice an event.
Ports
Winter Games was ported to the Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, Apple IIGS, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, and DOS computer platforms, and to the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Nintendo NES, and the Famicom Disk System video game consoles. In 2004, it was featured as one of the games on the C64 Direct-to-TV.
