Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Olympic Games series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    U.S. Gold
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Sports (multievent)
LANGUAGE:         Multilanguage

PREMISE:          A series of multievent Olympic sports games in the spirit
                  of the old Epyx games for the Commodore 64.

IMPRESSIONS:      A fair start, but gets better as the series goes.  By the
                  time you get to the last one, you won't even remember the
                  first.  U.S. Gold shows with this series that it can
                  learn from its mistakes and make better sequels, unlike
                  some distributors....

VARIATIONS:       Olympic Gold - Barcelona 92 (1992, more resembles the
                    arcade hit Track and Field than it does Summer Games)
                  Olympic Winter Games - Lillehammer 94 (1994, leaves
                    Accolade's Winter Challenge far behind in almost
                    every category)
                  Olympic Summer Games - Atlanta 96 (1996 by Black Pearl
                    Software, also known as Atlanta 96 and the Centennial
                    Olympic Games)

What was this crap?
Enjoy tapping the hell out of the arcade pad so the Ukraine judge can screw you over with a 5.0

These games are quite frustrating to play and are not very responsive but maybe I'll persevere with them and get somewhere - hey guys all we ever wanted was Track And Field and Hyper Sports on the Genesis which were at least playable and fun and this is what we are given, was it because Hyper Bill looked too similar to Mario?

I've actually seen a copy of this but they mistakingly put Mega drive on it instead of Genesis. I stupidly never bought it.
