     Probably, Epyx's "World Games"/gs is the best of the Olympic-style games.

     As a check, I downloaded the file from Asimov-GS, moved it to the GS and
unshrinked it to RAM5 RAM disk. It booted fine and there was no problem in
playing through the two events tested-- Diving and Caber Toss.

     If you try to run a vintage GS game like "World Games" from Sys 5.04,
6.0.1, etc., it is probably going to bomb. You need to boot the diskette and
let the game install ProDOS 16 v1.1 (or whatever).
