And I think, these days, games such as this need to have events that work in a standalone fashion, or have a level of frenetic arcade-like playability. That's why Hypersports can still be fun, and why I still rate California Games. The former is button-mashing, and (some of) the latter's events are fun in their own right. Going back to World Games now, though, and it all seems very lightweight by comparison. Mm.

But as a package it was the weakest of the Games series before Winter Edition/Summer Edition came along...
