The game was presented as a virtual multi-sport carnival called the "Epyx Winter Games" (there was no official IOC licensing in place) with up to 8 players each choosing a country to represent, and then taking turns competing in various events to try for a medal. | The game was presented as a virtual multi-sport carnival called the "Epyx Winter Games" (there was no official IOC licensing in place) with up to 8 players each choosing a country to represent, and then taking turns competing in various events to try for a medal. | ||

In 1987, [[Pony Canyon]] published a conversion of the game for the [[Family Computer Disk System]], which features the only departure from the Epyx box atrwork design (see below). This version was converted to cartridge form and released in North America on the [[NES]] by [[Acclaim]]. In 2004, it was featured as one of the games on the [[C64 Direct-to-TV]]. In 2009, Nintendo released the game for play on the [[Wii Virtual Console]] in Europe. It is worth noting that the version released was the Commodore 64 version, and ''not'' the Famicom Disk System or NES version, which is considered inferior. | ||
