Sega's offering this past summer in tune with the Summer Olympics was Decathlete. Track and Field on the Playstation outsold Decathlete here in the States so I suspect that many people did not get to enjoy this fun and arcade oriented sports game. Sega adds personality to their Olympics game by giving the gamer a chance to play 10 different characters. Some of the characters are suspiciously Viper-esque. For example, the olympian from Germany looks a lot like Raxel from FVipers, the girl from China looks like Honey and the guy from Japan looks like Picky. I would almost say that the olympianne from France looks like Jane but Jane is much more butch. There are ten events in all in Decathlete and each event is viewable by clicking on the appropriate names below.

The Japanese version of Decathlete is also uncensored. A certain olympian is missing from the American release probably due to his uncommon hair style, which was once pretty common.
