VIDEO GAME FOR WOULD-BE OLYMPIANS
Konami Co. has released a Nagano Winter Olympics '98 video game that
enables mouse potatoes to participate in Alpine skiing, giant slalom,
speedskating, ski-jumping, bobsled, luge and curling events from the
comfort of their PCs. The game was a year in the making, and
designers worked closely with Olympics officials who have licensed it
as the official video game of the Winter Games. "You'll see a
snowboarding game out there and some skiing games, but nothing that
has 12 or 13 events that are all unique," says Konami of America's
senior products manager. The game is available for the Sony
PlayStation and Nintendo 64 platforms. (Los Angeles Times 2 Feb 98)
