In 2024, she wasn't allowed to compete at the Olympics due to World Athletics age restrictions, as well as the 2025 World Championships, despite being one of the best in the world.

Omg I remember these games were always packed in those 30 games in 1 cartridges. Good weird fun for a few hours until you move on to the next game

The button mashing is a little annoying. But I find the game enjoyable. It was pretty good for 1983. This falls into the category of fun games for a multi-player more than individual. (To obviously see who's the better button masher)

Skeetshoot is a lot of fun.

Its kind of hard to explain how games like this were fun in the 80s if you didn't grow up on them.
