This is supposed to be a multi-event game but really the Sprinting game was all I could take of this. It features horrible Etch-A-Sketch type graphics, no sound and no appeal, AND it actually insists that you taps buttons for FIVE whole laps! I shudder to think what the other events are like. The fact that this was released at all let alone 1988 is inexhaustible. It's like this has been developed for a joke to see if someone like Alternative would be mad enough to release it, and well they did. Unless of course Alternative themselves developed it which may explain why no-one is credited for it. Probably they were too embarrassed to put their name on the game and if so I don’t blame them in the slightest. This is ranked among the worst games in Speccy history and rightfully so.

1988 Alternative Software (UK)

One of the worst games ever, hard to believe it was released in 1988. What were you thinking, guys?

Its a track and field game, including track hurdling (more like track hurting), canoeing, 3D cycling (yes, 3D!) and penalty saving.
Sound nice doesnt it? Well it is not as you may guess just by looking at the game screen. That will give a hint of the actual game overall.
Not only it's an ugly game to look at it also plays bad. And I mean bad! Some events are worse than others, but none is redeeming, so if you are like me a curious retro gaming kind of guy, you will like it while you are exploring it, otherwise just move along and dont bother with it.
