The Olympic games have been featured in numerous sport video games officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee or not. These games have more than one event and/or several sports, and have an Olympic theme.
The Olympic sports sub-genre dates back to the 1980 title Olympic Decathlon and was popularized by Konami's 1983 arcade title Track & Field. Since then, numerous titles have been released, usually in the immediate run up to the Olympic Games each game is intended to cover. Official IOC licenses became a norm since the first official game, Olympic Gold, was released in time for the 1992 Summer Olympics.
This is unrelated to the discussion surrounding having video games be included as an Olympic sport.[1][2]
