What Olympic Gold: Barcelona '92 is

Olympic Gold: Barcelona '92 is a sport game developed by Tiertex Design Studios and released in 1992. It was published by Tec Toy. It is available on Sega Mega Drive/Genesis only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Each computer athlete has a fictional name and nationality (choosing from UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, USA, Japan and the Unified Team, everyone with its own anthem snippet) and actual strengths and weaknesses: J. Balen, for instance, is a frequent 100 m and 110 m hurdles record breaker but only an average hammer thrower. Also, each computer controlled player seems better in a particular event depending on his country: Germans usually take the top spots in archery, Italians on swimming, Russians on pole vault, Americans on sprinting and so on.
