Though the Olympic games entered the new millennium in Australia, you can bring the torch home to your computer with Sydney 2000. Featuring athletes from 32 countries, the game offers competition in 12 events: 100-meter sprint, 110-meter hurdles, hammer toss, javelin throw, triple jump, high jump, 100-meter freestyle swimming, sprint cycling, skeet shooting, weightlifting, 10-meter platform diving, and the kayak K1 slalom. There are coaching and Olympic modes for the serious video athlete, as well as an arcade mode for those who want to go straight for the gold. Rich, 3-D graphics and motion-captured animation of real Olympic contenders bring the game’s virtual athletes to life, and Sydney 2000 lets you compete against up to seven others via the separately sold Multi Tap.
