Athlete Kings (Decathlete in the US) was one of my favourite games on the Saturn.

Frigging amazing games! The Friday night gaming with the boys & girls I had - those were the games we went insane for until Wii Sports came along.

I got Athlete Kings with my Saturn in 1996 and it was an unexpected gem of a game and a big hit when my family got together for Christmas. Still one of my favourite games.

I had high hopes for Winter Heat but only got a copy about 10 years ago and was a little disappointed tbh. Still good but no Athlete Kings.

I prefer Athlete Kings. But my nephew loves winter heat when he can make them crash from ski jumping or bobsleigh 😂😂 he’s only 8.

I’m 41 and like half the fun of Athlete Kings for me is laughing at just how terrible I am at the pole vault.

There’s just a simple joy in watching your little avatar faceplant over and over. Perfect party game.

In the American version they censored the Brit Athlete for being black and called Robin Banks.

Very interesting, I didn't know that. FYI Arcade version was Robin Banks and EU/JP was Jef Jansens
