"Giochi Di Inverno": Winter Challenge/Winter Olympiad 88 - Italian language hack?
 

screenshots from Giochi Di Inverno (hack of another game?) :

Hey, s2325. You're nothing if not persistent, my friend! ;)

Giochi Di Inverno = Winter Games ;)

Mystery solved! :great

Really? Doesn't look like Epyx Winter Games ;) I wonder which game it is or if it is a PD game.

It's Winter Challenge, aka Winter Olympiad '88. ;)

Ah, thanks for the info Retro :) Now the mystery is fully solved :D

Well, perhaps I shouldn't have had another cold beer after all! :crazy

Giochi Di Inverno - Italian, no? :confused

Zambot_3 - from Italy, no? :confused

Are we there yet? :confused

Ah, great! :great

Maybe you had not enough of them mate ;)
I just wonder if it's an italian (fan) translation that is on the site. Guess I'll have a lookie now.

Edit : It's italian, so maybe HOL needs to be updated :)

Just have another look at the mess above, mate! Are you sure I didn't have enough. :crazy

Hmm, now that you say it... :D Let's just hope there are no more confusing posts in here :laughing

Amen to that! :spin

My guess would be that it's a hack since only the pure text screens are in Italian.

Hmmm, going to move all these "Giochi Di Inverno" posts to another thread soon, just not sure where to put them...

Just dump them in a new thread named "Giochi Di Inverno". :)

Retrogaming general:

Winter Challenge/Winter Olympiad '88 - Italian language hack?

;)

Would also guess it's a hack. Just need to find out who did it for a proper TOSEC rename ;)

Maybe prb.Games would be most suited for the move.

Also music is changed - stolen from 8-bit machine (I don't remember title of game). Olympiad opening is damaged, some graphics are out of place.

No, please don't move 'em Damien!

We're finished now (honest!) :) Well, I am! (I was only trying to defend the link I posted for ADF downloads, that's all ;))

Sometime ago (in the first '80) there were some magazines in Italy with a cassette or a floppy for C64. You may found on them many games cracked and with the title changes, usually totally translated in Italian language. I still have many of them. I had the C64 version of "Olimpiadi Invernali"... it really was Winter Olimpiad 98.
