GB wins first Alpine Olympic Gold!

Yep - I just won gold on the Downhill Torino 2006 on the PC!


Suckers - did you really think a REAL Skiier would win?

Dunno,we got a 3rd last time....ok he was then disqualified but same difference!

Is that game any good? Been thinking of investing in the PS2 version but read a stinking review of it.

Quite good fun for a few minutes - no real long term appeal. Good job I got an "EVALUATION" copy from the newsgroups! Probably a Blockbuster job!

Bit of a rip off as there are 5 basic events - Ski Jump, Bobsled type, Cross Country type, Skiing and Spped Skating. Then padded out to 15 events by having Downhill, Super G, and Slalom - Two Ski Jump Hills - Ski Jump + Cross Country, Cross Country + Biathlon and 3 distances of speed skating. Finally, there is Luge, 2 man bob and 4 man bob. (I know that is 14 - can't think of another one). Oh - and annoying Yank commentary. What the hell is the Beeathlon?

Mind you - it is the first game that I have been any good at the Skiing - must give Winter Games on the C64 another go. That had Opening and Closing Ceremonies and National Athems - more than Torino does.

Cheers TGC - Blockbuster for a wet weekend it is.
