Anyone who has every played a movie-licensed game can attest to the fact that officially licensed video game adaptations of movies, books, or real-life events can be very difficult to get right. Nowhere does this ring more true than in the case of games inspired by major sporting events, such as the Olympic Games. With the Tokyo Olympic Games captivating audiences all over the world, now is the best time to take a deep dive into the history of gaming in order to find some officially-licensed games that might have gone under many players' radards.
Olympics-focused titles tend to fall into two categories: fun party games, and more serious endeavors that aim for longer playtimes. While the vast majority of these games was mediocre at best, there were few that managed to capture the magic of the Olympics all the while providing a great gaming experience. Olympic Gold was the first sports game in history to receive an official license to use the Olympic branding and symbols, and as such, it was quite a big deal.
Its gameplay mainly focused on button mashing like the vast majority of Olympics-licensed titles , and it included seven events, suhc as the hundred-meter race, freestyle swimming, archery, and even springboard diving. While six out of the seven game modes were nearly identical in terms of gameplay, the springboard diving event was a truly special experience, as it allowed players to improvize in creating their own dives instead of mashing buttons to get the best predetermined combination.
It may not seem like much now, but back in , people bought the game with the sole purpose of trying that feature out. Developed and published in for cult-classic retro platforms like the ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64, Daley Thompson's Decathlon was a true gaming phenomenon that is still difficult to understand by people who are too young to remember Daley Thompson's gold medals from and Despite being a simple button-masher with less intricacy than the most basic of minigames, the game became a bestseller, with people bending over backwards to beat their friends high scores.
The game's future state is unclear at this point. The game follows the storyline and plot of Dead or Alive Ultimate , with most of the content and gameplay of Ultimate retained and reused. Apart from single player matches and fights, players can also bring fights online, challenging other players worldwide. This is a free online game, but some content, such as various characters or costumes, need to be paid for in order to play with. Dead or Alive Online was downloadable from the official website.
