1987 Gremlin Graphics Software (UK)
A competition made out of 8 strange events.
Nothing new here besides the events chosen which add only a curious factor.
The graphic implementation is bad.
Playability awaful.
The only think in favour of it are the cute tunes, some humour here and there, and the competing style game, if you like the genre. And the only reason why I give it a score of 2.

Never thought I'd be beginning this review by saying it starts with a rendition of Fanfare for the Common Man, but here we are. This contains eight events in total. There's Sack Race where you spend more time falling over than anything else, then there's Pile of Plates which is slow but I managed to complete this event so fair enough. Boot Throwing is a complicated mess and I couldn't throw anything to save my life, River Jump is like pole vault only more harder and more shit, Pole Climbing features the most complex control system ever for climbing a pole and thus progression is next to impossible and Run Up the Wall has you most likely running INTO the wall rather than up it, and I gave up at that point. Of all the multi-event games I've played this is among the very worst I've ever come across, it's ugly, it's dull, it's complex and it's absolute donkey shit. At least The Dean saw some kind of humour in this, I didn't, hence my low score and this review. This can frankly piss right off.
