Athens 2004

Trivia

In 2004, Athens 2004 (PS2) has won the Gold-Award from the German VUD (Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland - Entertainment Software Association Germany) for selling more then 100,000 (but less then 200,000) units in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

From the "What are those?" files:

The weird looking Olympic mascots are Phevos (male) and Athena (female). This brother and sister pair represent the spirit of the Olympics and connect the modern games with their ancient origin. Their bell-shaped appearance is inspired by ancient Greek dolls. Also of note, the game's load screens feature the official logos of the events, showing the Athens mascots in action.

Learn more about them at Olympic Mascots.
