Olympic Summer Games was the 16-bit edition of the official video game of the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. It is the third game of a loose "trilogy" also consisting of Olympic Gold and Winter Olympics. Overall, it was the last "Olympic" video game released for the fourth generation of consoles (Mega Drive and SNES), as well as the Game Boy.It follows the already common button mashing techniques of previous (and future) games, with the usual exceptions.It has 10 events (three more than Olympic Gold), but only two aren't based on track and field events, and unlike Winter Olympics, there are no major differences between each event on different platforms.
