Fine, but when is the fix coming?
Having a good time until the bugs arrive. GOG needs to find a fix for the issues like flying off the 3rd round of speed skating. I see someone thinks it has something to due with old piracy protections... is tis true? Still a fun time, but I want to WIN every event! Can be a four star compilation without the issues.

Flawed old favorites
Two old favorites with some excellent events, but also some gamebreaking bugs, both old, like the skating and cycling events invariably pushing you out of the track in the third lap, as well as some weird new ones with the events that require you to let go of the space bar no longer registering that at higher running speeds... Still, even with its problems, the parts you can actually play are even now enjoyable enough to be worth this low price.

perfect GOG version at last
First of all i gotta thank my best buddy from school who introduced me to "The Games - Winter Challenge" back in 2001 or so. He often showed me some games he used to play in the 90s on his grandfathers PC and i instantly fell n love with the game as well. A year later i got a bunch of Floppies in a floppy case from another friend of mine from school who felt like getting rid off stuff he didn't need anymore. Among those floppies was a copy of "The Games - Summer Challenge". I wasn't aware that Winter Challenge had a sequel so when i played it on my own PC at home it was like playing more levels of an already great game. Only this time with a different season. Technically both games are indeed something you really could only really enjoy on a PC, combining the best of both worlds, lovely 2D sprites as well as early 3D backgrounds & environments. Both works absolutely wonderful and the range of sport disciplines you get to play is both challenging and fun to play. Sometimes you need to do some of them a few times to get a feeling for how to do it properly. Especially Summer Challenge seem to be a little harder than "Winter Challenge". The wonderful VGA graphics and, the Adlib soundtrack as well as the digitized speech samples still put a smile on your face. Even after all these years, these games are still fun and quite challenging. I often played both games together with my best friend and we broke each others best times for every discipline. And i am so happy that both games are finally available here. The GOG version is perfect in every way and I really couldn't be happier. DOSBox underlayer is perfectly adjusted to the game and everything runs perfectly as it should. And the great thing is it even comes with a installer package for Linux right from the start. I really appreciate that. So yeah, i can absolutely recommend both games that you get in this package. Worth the money. Even when it's not on sale :)

The olympic games of the 90s
One of the best hot seat multiplayer games of the 90s and a classic game that is still great fun to play with friends to this day. Some events might be flawed, and the AI is a massive challenge even at the easiest level - but the atmosphere makes up for all this and more. PS! The trick to do complete the ice skating is to release the throttle and you will slowly be pushed inwards again. This way you can trick yourself through the two last corners. It is even possible to win. The biathlon also has a weird bug not found in the Genesis/Mega Drive version. Every other shot are automatically misplaced towards the upper right corner. Aim down to the left to nail it in the center.

Still waiting for a fix
I really loved these games in the 1990s and they would still be fun to play IF A FIX CAME! If the games were not so cheap I would demand a refund.
