STAY ON TOP

OF WORLD EVENTS.

The following programs are brought to you by an incredible series of events.

Over 30 of them, to be specific.

They're the unforgettable events of our best-selling Games series.

First, World Games. Eight international events ranging from Sumo wrestling to cliff diving. Bull riding to weightlifting. Even skiing the Chamonix slalom.

There's our enormously popular Summer Games. Break records in track, swimming, diving, gymnastics and skeet shooting, just to name a few.

There's its equally acclaimed sequel, Summer Games II. Go for the gold in rowing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, the high jump, the triple jump, kayaking, and more.

Finally, there's the icy challenges of Winter Games. Wait'll you careen the tube in a bobsled. Fly the ski jump. Or choreograph an entire figure skating routine. You'll flip over the hot dog aerials. And beg for mercy in the Biathlon. And coming next summer, our newest Games program. (Better get ready to hit the beach.)

Now, it may seem like a lot to handle.

But don't let world events get the best of you.
