Olympic Games

Olympic Games is a sports title developed by Silicon Dreams and published by US Gold, serving as the official PlayStation game of the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics and featuring ten track and field events in a button-mashing style familiar from earlier entries in US Gold’s Olympic series.

Only one PAL variant has been catalogued, an original release covering the UK, Italy, and Spain, released on 10th July 1996. The game is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc and no hologram on the case. Despite the limited country listing, the release supports five languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, suggesting a broadly localised manual and packaging. A Pink Olympic Soccer and Games Flyer is documented as included loose paperwork. Research notes flag the likelihood of separate French and German releases that have not yet been confirmed, so the full extent of PAL distribution may be broader than currently catalogued. Collectors interested in officially licensed Olympic software from the mid-nineties will find this a period-specific curiosity.
