Notes

Distributed in Australia by YPA and in Germany by Ariolasoft (see Scans).


TRIVIA: SUMMER OLYMPIAD was released just before the 1988 Seoul Olympics in South Korea.

In the flag selection screen the Albanian flag is wrongly labelled as Austria.

Conversion Notes

Based on simultaneous 1988 Tynesoft C64/PC/Atari ST releases.

PC versions: CGA, Tandy

N.B. Despite mention of a Spectrum conversion in the manual and game advert (see Miscshot), it was never released.
