[edit] Critics

Sledgie: "A multi player sports game with funny and extraordinary games. Very nice background pictures and good music, as well as cute sprites. I miss a highscore saver as in Summer Games. Partially I think the operation is rather difficult. In the game Pole Climbing I have until never made it to the pole. However, I use a keyboard, maybe it is better to play with a game pad."
