I managed to get hold of an old iPod Touch for a coupe of old iOS games, such as this one. This is a game based on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, but with no Mario, similar to the java and more recent Android/iOS Sonic Olympic games. This game was originally only available on the Apple App Store for less than one week. This game features four events.
Skeleton is the first event. You slide down a large slow and have to tilt the phone to steer, trying to keep to the racing line while hitting the boost pads. It controls well and there’s an extra course to unlock with a night-time setting.
Curling is very different to regular curling, with its very own points system. You hit the pick and then brush to steer it into rings and power-ups, trying to get it into the middle of the target. The goal isn’t to be the closest, but to get the most within the targets for the most overall points.
Figure Skating has you tapping and drawing shapes to classical tunes such as “I Am The Very Model of a Scientist Salarian”, with three to start with and one more to unlock.
Snowboard Cross is a four placer race with power ups. You tilt to steer and have to align yourself in mid-air by tilting forwards/backwards. Get the position right and you’ll get a boost. It’s a really fun mode.
The game also has both wireless and pass-and-pay multiplayer, with Snowboard Cross having people race against the ghost of the previous players.
