85/100

Retro Winter Sports 1986 is a masterclass in nostalgic game design, perfectly capturing the aesthetic and challenge of 80s home computer sports titles. It doesn't just look the part with its crisp pixel art; it feels authentic. The game offers six distinct events: Ski Jump, Biathlon, Bobsled, Speed Skating, Curling, and Slalom. Each event requires a different set of reflexes and timing, ensuring that the gameplay remains fresh even after several sessions.

What truly sets this apart from typical retro-style games is the execution. The controls are specifically tailored for mobile, removing the frustration often found in ports. Whether you are aiming for a gold medal in the tournament mode or competing with up to eight friends in the brilliant 'hot seat' local multiplayer, there is a genuine sense of 'just one more try' as you chase leaderboards. It’s a polished, heartfelt tribute to the Epyx era of sports gaming that every retro fan should own.

Absolutely Perfect

Like most everyone I struggle with the speed skating but I found a real good trick that helps me win it more often. Even earned a silver medal! Ski jump is the one that really kills me.

Loved it

If you loved the old Epix games on the Apple II or Commodore 64 then this is perfect! Feels like Winter Games!

This is a no brainer! The game is a complete TIME MACHINE to when gameplay was the most unique it perhaps ever has been. A pure joy, sentimentality aside (but the sentimentality factor is HUGE), the game is the Bomb.com! Great job developers! A smash hit!

Not good
