While WCD should be applauded for breathing new life into decathlon titles, it is ultimately undermined by shortcomings in gameplay and challenge. Let's hope they use the next four years, train hard, and come back strong in 2000.

If you're looking for a decathlon sports simulation, then this title might be a great addition to your entertainment library. If you prefer more action and fun in a game, I suggest looking for a different title. It really is too bad EPYX Games isn't around anymore. They knew how to make a fun and enjoyable game the right way.

Decathlon, as Spectrum owners will remember all too dearly, is a game that must be played with a very strong, stumpy joystick. Joypads are awful and keys arc useless when it comes to pushing in alternate directions at the speed of light and jumping around with pixel perfect timing. Sadly, about three PC owners in the world will actually have the required joysticks, and therefore about 39,999,997 will be left attempting to perform the computer equivalent of delicately slicing a wedding cake with a chain-saw.

Att sedan spelet endast går att köra under Windows 95 bidrar till en ännu ryckigare och instabilare upplevelse. Så låt dig inte luras. Daley Thompson's World Class Decathlon är inget annat än billigt skräp.

Wenn Programmierer sich an Leichtathletik wagen, kommt dabei meist das selbe raus: simple, aber durchaus kurzweilige Joystick-Rüttelorgien, bei denen der Spieler unwesentlich weniger Schweiß vergießt als ein "echter" Athlet.. World Class Decathlon geht neue Wege - fein, fein. Was menütechnisch noch ganz beeindruckend wirkt (Sportler-Charakterprofil-Design, boah...), entpuppt sich aber als arger Spieldesign-Stuß.

Daley Thompsons olympischer Zehnkampf kann in keiner Disziplin überzeugen - leider muß das so hart formuliert werden. Das anspruchslose Gameplay (drei bis vier Mausklicks pro Disziplin sind einfach zu wenig) wird von der unspektakulären Grafik noch unterboten. Es drängt sich fast der Verdacht auf, daß bei der Entwicklung zu sehr der olympische Gedanke im Vordergrund stand. Ist Dabeisein wirklich alles?!
