What it is
The Games: Winter Edition is a sports simulation by Epyx, originally released in 1988 for DOS computers. It lets players compete in seven winter events: luge, figure skating, speed skating, downhill skiing, slalom, ski jump, and cross country. The events call for practice and patience as players pursue gold medals. The game is listed in racing, simulation, and sports genres, and its listed platforms include Windows, ZX Spectrum, DOS, MSX, Atari ST, Apple II series, Amstrad CPC, and Commodore 64. The Steam listing identifies Windows as its platform and includes single-player and Family Sharing. Pixel Games UK is listed as publisher. This is a solo-focused option for players interested in a collection of winter sports events rather than a single sport.
