In 1992, the Super Soldier project known as "D. Stead" showed great results, masquerading itself as a competitor in the Barcelona Olympic games.

Why does this sound like an introduction to a competitor in a fighting game?

[@Toothache42]

First my Alisia Dragoon TAS, now this, someone really wants me back :)

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

Loved it. It was awesome to watch

[@ezgames6925]

Haha, it’s just a complete coincidence that I re-encoded 2 of your movies recently. Although it would be cool to see you back.

"Mister Stead, you have been selected for a random drug test..."

[@Afonso.Soares]

This is a TAS, so it’s not random, it’s by design

Current world records for the events featured in this game: 100 Meter Dash: 9.58 seconds, Usain Bolt Hammer throw: 86.74, Yuriy Sedykh Archery (considering 36-arrow elimination): 339 points, Chen Szu-yuan 110 M Hurdles: 12.80 seconds, Aries Merritt Pole Vault: 6.15 meters, Armand Duplantis Springboard Diving: The scoring methodology for this has apparently changed since 1992, so I'm gonna skip this one 200 M Freestyle Swimming: 1:42: Paul Biedermann Person with most Olympic metals in separate disciplines: Tug-of-War, wrestling, weightlifting, Frank Kugler Longest video game marathon playing a Naruto game: 28 hours, 11 minutes, 32 seconds, Szabolcs Csépe.

[@AndrewBlechinger]

Unreal that the current WR in 200m freestyle actually surpasses what's possible in this game.

[@haziflex2766]

It seems that Yuriy has died

[@CrownRock1]

Pole vault is now up to 6.22m, still held by Duplantis

[@jonathanblaezalite6244]

Used to play this with my Mum all those years ago. R.I.P Mum looking forward to the rematch when we meet again.

5:20 > Refuses to vault for entire competition > Enters when the bar gets set to 6.35m > Vaults a new WR by .45 meters > Refuses to elaborate D. Stead is a gigachad

Guys, I think Mr. Stead might be doping.

[@Mike-ge7pe]

My favorite part of the olympics is when they shoot off fireworks and play a song that sounds like it was written by Cake while showing the participant’s point totals. Sega really captured the experience

[@CrownRock1]

It just needs a Vibraslap to really get that Cake sound.

[@Somescrub]

They check for drugs but not if the athlete is a synth or not

[@PaulFisher]

I refuse to believe that the gangly D. Stead seen on the track is the same person as the yoked D. Stead we later see in the pool.

Naruto-running way before Naruto was even a thing

[@OneBunnyOwsla]

His initial stands for DoSomethingElseIn, and is a none too subtle comment to every other competing athlete.

[@GamerGee]

The sound effects. Classic.

8:47 when the character hits the water the sound it makes reminds me of a game boy advance game, but I don't remember which one

Does this game support the Genesis 4 player adaptor? I'm writing a children's book that takes place in 1992 and would like to include a scene where the main character is playing a 3 player game with her little sister and older brother. I could find no information on when the Genesis 4 player adaptor came out and the only other 4 player games I could find came out in 1993 or later. i have also thought of depicting them playing a made up game, Bunny Soccer, which would be a reference to the mascot of the UEFA Euro 1992 soccer tournament having been a rabbit named Rabbit!

[@samevans4834]

What's the deal? All I can find is that they ported some Capcom games. Are they bad ports?

[@solarflare9078]

@@samevans4834 VERY bad ports. Just look at Strider and Street Fighter on the Amiga and you'll know EXACTLY what I mean. They also made the Turbo Outrun port on the Mega Drive, Toy Story on the Game Boy, Supercross 3D on the Atari Jaguar, and other crap.

[@Zeekitron]

Wait how was able to do a TAS in this year’s olympics what??

[@bonokov816]

7 hurdles? Where’s the other 3?
