Once you  load up the Game you  will see the  opening ceremony  with the runner
with the torch  entering the screen,  anthemlike  music playing  and the runner
lighting a huge fire with his small torch while doves fly by.

                                   ~ ~ ~

After  this  emotional  moment in  sportshistory  you are  able to  choose from
different  actions in  this  game.  I will list  them all  under here  and then
explain what they are all about.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(

                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                       () # Compete in all events # ()
                     ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

                         () # Opening  ceremony # ()
                       ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

These are all the options you get from epix Wintergames by now,  now here comes
the explanation what you can do with all the different options:

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(


                () # Compete in all events # ()
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 This is the  first option and the main event of the game, you will go through
 all 4 sportevents in one go.  You first have to  choose if you are one or two
 players and  then you choose  the country you want  to represent (for further
 informations look down one chapter  under "Nations" and  then the game starts
 and leads you through  all 4 events in the given order,  for more information
 about the events look in the "events" chapter


                () # Compete in one event # ()
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Here it's nearly the same as in the "compete in all events" Option, you first
 have to choose if you are one or two players and then you choose  the country
 you want to represent  (for further informations  look down one chapter under
 "Nations" and then  the game starts  and bringst you  to screen where you can
 choose one of the  4 events to compete against the computer or your friend or
 just break a record.
 For more information about the events look in the "events" chapter.


                () # Practice events # ()
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Here you can, as the name already  implies practice all the different events
  and there are  even more  detailled  informations  about every  event in the
  "events" section of this FAQ.
  In the Practice mode you  don't have to  choose a name  or a nationality but
  your records won't be saved in the Hall of fame mentioned  in the next topic
  under here.


                () # See world Records # ()
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Once you broke a record your chosen name will  be on this hall of fame until
  someone else breaks your record  or you cut the  power to this game.
  Look here and shed a  tear with your  own personal  highscore or be angry at
  the person that beat your record. So now try to be better then.


                () # Opening ceremony # ()
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Choose this option and you will  see the guy with  the olympic torch running
  into the screen again and light up the fire (again, sigh!).
  Once the fire is lit  and the doves start to fly by,  just press start, it's
  all over now.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

                               ~~~~~~~~~~~
                                 NATIONS
                               ~~~~~~~~~~~

After choosing the number of players (I refuse to write more about this matter)
you can choose the  country you want to represent.  In the NES Version  you can
choose from  6 different countries  (in the c64 Version you  can play the whole
world) which are as follows:


            # USA     (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
            # CAN     (CANADA)
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
            # USSR    (OLD RUSSIA)
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
            # JPN     (JAPAN)
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
            # GBR     (GREAT BRITAIN)
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
            # FRA     (FRANCE)
              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After you have chosen your country  you can enter your name,  which can be very
frustrating when you can move your cursor  only from left to right and back and
not from top to bottom  and you can  only use 4  different  characters for your
name as a maximum.
After having  entered some  4 letter  name like  hans, friz, shit,  fuck, coke,
duke,  nahasamimapetilon, tom, max,  anus, dale,  or somthing else at least the
same creative you can  hear your countries  national anthem  in bleeps and then
continue to the event you chose.

                        __# Hot Dog Aerials__
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

This event  is a trickski contest where your player jumps over a small jumpramp
and has to do some nice tricks to impress the jury.


the first thing to do is press A to start your player.

as soon as your character hopped over the kicker press the following buttons to
make him do some action!

/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| key    | trick                | Ratings   | Thing to take care of           |
|=============================================================================|
|  <     |  backflip            |  5.7-5.8  |  only once or you will bail     |
|--------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------|
|  < <   |  double backflip     |  6.3-7.7  |  press left the first time just |
|        |                      |           |  after the player left the kicker
|        |                      |           |  and the second time you press  |
|        |                      |           |  the left button has to be in   |
|        |                      |           |  between the animation when he  |
|        |                      |           |  just is about to finish the turn
|        |                      |           |  otherwise he will bail. This   |
|        |                      |           |  needs some practise!           |

|--------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------|
|  < >   |  back to front flip  |  7.1-7.7  |  same timing as on the double   |
|        |                      |           |  backflip. Even better timing is|
|        |                      |           |  needed here.                   |

|--------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------|
|        |  any flip + one of   |  8.4-8.5  |  do a single flip and then one  |

|--------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------|
|        |  the same skitrick   |   8.6     |  in a short timeframe it's better
|        |  twice               |           |  to just do the next combo vvv  |
|--------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------------------|
|        |  two different       |   9.5     |  same timeproblems as above but |
|        |  skitricks           |           |  gets you a higher score        |
\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The more often you repeat a trick the lower you scores will get.

                        __# Speed Skating__
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Here you controll your speedskater with just two buttons. (and A to start.)


Now we  come to what  we are  all  here  for,  senseless  sensoric  overloading
buttonmashing!
At the beginning of the race push left and right like crazy to gain some speed,
after you  get  your  speed just  relax  and  press the  buttons in  turns at a
constant rhythm. No need to be hectic, your skater just needs to glide over the
ice and this is best done by a smooth rhythm of footmovement.

The speed bar in the lower left corner shows how  fast you got,  it is possible
to hold it at a maximum level, but it is very hard, more likely you will switch
from highest speed to one level below and then back up again.
Whatever you do, don't  loose your rhythm!

Use the practice option for pratice and you will get into the rhythm.

Then try  to beat  my 35.2 seconds  for 400m!  (which I  only got  once but I'm
so proud of it to write it here!)

                        __# Figure skating__
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

This is a rather odd event, but when you want to compete in all events you have
to go through this one, too. Here is how it (should) work:


First of all press the A button to start your girls ride over the ice.

After absolutely not knowing what to do then in this  event I surfed around the
web and  found a nice  explanation for this event on  www.neshq.com  written by
andrewm, the site's administrator.
As he stated he took the info from the c64 manual  I will use  this information
for completenes here too,  and by that giving him  and the manual the  deserved
credit. More in the thanks section.

It is important  that you  are in the right  stance for  your jumps or you will
bail.

      /--------------------------------------------------------------\
      |  key        |  trick             |  standing   |  Points     |
      |==============================================================|
      |   >+V+A     |   triple axle      |  foreward   |   1.1       |

      |   <+V+A     |   triple Lutz      |  backwards  |   1.1       |
      |-------------+--------------------+-------------+-------------|
      |   <+^+A     |   double Lutz      |  backwards  |   0.6       |
      |-------------+--------------------+-------------+-------------|

      |-------------+--------------------+-------------+-------------|
      |   V+A       |   Sit Spin         |  backwards  |   0.7       |
      |-------------+--------------------+-------------+-------------|
      |  ^+A -> V*A |  Camel to sitspin  |  backwards  |   1.2       |
      |             |  combo             |             |             |
      \--------------------------------------------------------------/

Eveytime you fall, this gives you a -1.2 score in the ratings.

the next pararaph is also written by AndrewM and quite helpful.

By now you know how to do the tricks,  what they're worth, and the finer points
of Winter Games  Figure Skating. Well,  there are  two more  things to mention.
First, you can only do each trick once. Any later attempts will  not be counted
on the  final  score,  regardless  of  whether  or not  the original  trick was
successful.  Second,  you must be facing forward  when time runs out. If you're
not then you'll  fall down  (say goodbye to 1.2 points).  So, now for strategy.
The path I recommend is:  Triple Axel, Double Lutz,  Camel Spin,  Triple Lutz,
Sit-spin, Skate Forwards,  Double Axel, and finish  with a  Camel to Sit Spin.
This works well  since  the jumps sort of lead into the spins. Give it a shot.

I still haven't figured  out how to stand up  after the spins,  if you find out
drop me a line to the mailaddresse mentioned in the legal stuff section.

                        __# The Bobsled__
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

the bobsled is a more simple event.
Once you  get a feeling  for the curves  and don't  fall out of them it doesn't
matter how you drive, you will always  get final times between  51:50 and 53:99
seconds.

To stay inside the bobsledcourse and don't  fall off in  the curves you have to
use the controlls left and right.
When the curve turns to the right you have to steer right, when the curve turns
to the left you have to steer to the left.  That's the trick, you will get used
to it very fast. Once your bob gets  faster you have to hold the button for the
steering longer to the needed direction.

The most useless button is  the down button, you use this to slow down your bob
sled, but under normal circumstances you won't need to use the break and if you
have to use it it's already to late.

declare this File as finished and completed.
But if you have that piece of info, that is still missing in this guide and you
think it should be at all cost in this guide, then don't hesitate to contact me
and tell me the information, my emailadress can be found in the paragraph above
and in the paragraph under this one.
But if you  have any other  question, that  isn't  answered,  please keep it to

Some other small changes that had to be done have been done. Changed some stuff
in the thank you section, in the Faq, especially in the airjump hot dog aerials
section and I still wonder  how you can call an event  about skijumping hot dog
aerials...
Improved the legal stuffs  and linked,  if you want to call  it linking (park?)
because I just copy and  pasted a link  and you  have to do so too,  if you are
interested in the NES FAQ Completion project. That's the Link anyways.

Finally I proovered  the whole thing  and now there  should be no more spelling
errors in this guide.  If you find one  write it  out to me,  because there can
only be one or two left and I want them all.
Some small Layoutchange  in the Figure  Skating Event  section has been done to
make it more ..."central".
This was probably the last update in a while, meh, forever!

Thanks to all the people working or coding or however you want  to call the job
they do, I mean those gamefreaks that write these nice programms known today as
the emulator. I don't know if I  would have bought this game.  Well, the day it
came out it sure was a good game,  not great but good,  but nowadays I wouldn't
bother buying it, but it's a nice play for inbetween.

Thanks to CjayC and Gamefaqs for hosting my guides and providing us gamers with
these massive amount of information and messageboards and stuff.

Thanks to Andrew Schultz for starting the NES FAQ Completion Project  in May of
2004.
