Reviews:

CD-ROM Today, June 1996

"Olympic Gold is the first official history of the Olympic Games on CD-ROM and it's full of details about the last 100 years of the Summer Olympics. There's no cute mascot or wacky approach, just a plethora of well-organized information that would stump even the biggest Olympic trivia aficionado."

"The disc's main flaw is the scope of its coverage - there's no Winter Olympic Games data. However, if you love the Olympics and are gearing up for the 1996 Games, Olympic Gold is a great way to learn all you'd ever want to know."
