Re: The Official Tokyo 2020 Olympics Game Arrives On Xbox This June

For me, nothing can beat International Track and Field on the PS1 and to a lesser extent ESPN Track and Field on the Dreamcast.

Olympic Gold on the Mega Drive also wasn't bad, though the diving was frustrating.

The games were heavily dumbed down after that. Some events on Beijing 2008 were OK, some awful. London 2012 was just dreadful relying more on button presses rather than button bashing.

Even the Xbox Live version of International Track and Field was much better than those games and that was 8-bit.

Re: Microsoft Kicks Off Its 20 Years Of Xbox Celebrations

Living in the UK at the time, we had to wait until 2002 for the Xbox to launch. I managed to save up the money by selling burned discs of various media at school.

Pretty sure I paid £300 at launch for it and they dropped the price a few weeks later. They sent me Dead Or Alive 3 as a good will gesture for paying £100 extra at launch. Been Xbox ever since.
