European Games

## Description

Like so many other “Games” games, _European Games_ is primarily a joystick-
waggler, with some precision elements thrown in. Taking place over five or six
disciplines, depending on platform, you generally go left to right (or hit the
right keys) with your joystick on those judged on speed, while pressing the
fire button once a metre reaches its top (as in golf games) is the general
method for disciplines such as shooting.

Throwing is handled by releasing your hammer when the power bar is at the top,
with additional rotation control on the Commodore.

Cycling* is pure joystick action from left to right to simulate pedal motions.

Shooting* requires positioning of your man and then timing your trigger to the
power (accuracy) bar.

Swimming involves more joystick action, but you also need to keep an eye on
your air supply. Going up for air slows you down, though.

The long jump involves yet more joystick action, until you reach the
touchboard. Then you need to press the jump button at the right time,
optionally choosing jump angle.

Rowing** is like swimming, but without air.

Weight lifting involves more power bar pushing, keeping the bar high
constantly and lifting the weight before the time runs out.

*MSX only.
**Commodore only.
