GameBase Video Olympicks 2012


Really looking forward to the London 2012 Opening Ceremony tonight (not long now). The games have started already, and so has the SpecialEffect GameBase Video Olympicks 2012. A good clutch of one-switch, point-and-click, cause-and-effect and audio-games await.

Some of the one-switch playable games include: Boccia (will likely need assistance with aiming), Fencing, Olympics Squared (mix), Football, Sailing, Switch Skills Champions (mix), Swimming (may benefit from JoyToKey auto-fire to make easier) and Wrestling (support will likely be needed with choosing an attack).

Audio-games include: Blind Football and Tennis. The original Konami Track & Field also works for the 100m as a speed test.

Some of the point and click games include: Boccia (will need an on screen keyboard), Sailing and Wrestling.

Paralympics - Meet the Super Humans

Screen grab from the C4 Paralympic Meet the Heroes promotion. A man in a sports wheelchair speeds around a track in the dark and pouring rain.

Channel 4 have just released an inspiring Paralympic promotional video like no other I've seen. Just click on one of the pictures above to view it. The Olympics arrives next Friday, and the Paralympics from the 29th of August. I'm hugely looking forward to them especially the Danny Boyle opening ceremony to kick it all off.

Meanwhile get involved from the comfort of your home with the Game Base Video Olympicks 2012 and follow the C4 Paralympics blog to learn much more.
