Gold Medalist Set 2 is a multi-event sports arcade game developed by Alpha Denshi and published by SNK in 1988. Following the tradition of classic Olympic-style titles, it challenges players to compete across various athletic events, including sprinting, swimming, boxing, and field sports.
How to Play
The gameplay heavily revolves around rapid button mashing to build up speed or power for your athlete. For technical events like the discus throw or high jump, you must combine this speed with a precisely timed secondary action to execute your maneuver. In the browser, use the Arrow keys for directional movement, Z, X, and C for action buttons, Shift to insert coins, and Enter to start.
Tips
Consistent, rhythmic button pressing is often more effective than erratic mashing for maintaining top speed in racing events. During the high jump and throwing events, prioritize perfecting your release angle and timing, as poor execution will result in a foul regardless of your approach speed.
