Athens 2004 Game

[Aarleks]

Just found a description of the "Athens 2004" game for Playstation2, due to be released on July 30th. Amongst other sports such as swimming and athletics, there is archery!!

Could be a great way to get people hooked on the sport.

Looks dinky, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to play it just for the archery. :lol:

Good move for sport generally, but I think some of the 'low volume' sports (like archery) will benefit the most.

If you go to the video section, there is a shot 35s clip of a dude shooting from the game......

Talk about bad elbow position in his draw, a terrible grip position.......
No wonder he only got a 8..

If you can get someone to burn it for you, I'm sure you could find a PS2 emulator somewhere that would work on your PC...

Current emulator(s?) only work for a handful of games at the moment.

They used motion capture technology for greatest realism

Seeing we were speaking of emulators.......... Thank heavens they don't. Saves lots of complications, expensive gifts and dinners, AND time away from archery.
