No Official Paris 2024 Video Game?

Thanks to covid a few years ago, I got back into retro gaming and have been collecting the various official Olympic video games. So how come there is no Paris 2024 game? Not even a Mario & Sonic at the Paris 2024 Olympics?

There’s a mobile one.

The official Paris 2024 video game has been released, Olympics Go! Paris 2024. Goodbye Mario and Sonic, it's a mobile game now: the IOC changed its strategy concerning video games, which are now just another way to promote the Olympic brand. So lower your expectations.

I tried the game 20 minutes. Graphics are bad, but I thought it would be even worse. Gameplay is bad too, with a special award to the shooting game where you have to aim, wait for the target to slowly reach the point you aimed at and then shoot, so hilarious.

Also, it's a mix between sports mini-games and a city builder: haven't you ever dreamed to build a fast-food stand in front of the Stade de France? And there are micropayments too, it's a mobile game after all.

At least, it's free, so you can give it a try.

Wait wait wait: there are Phryges in the game. Best game ever!
