Sweat! The Decathlon Game gathers ten Olympic disciplines resolved with the same pure-reflex logic the genre popularized after the success of Track & Field in arcades: mash buttons as fast as possible to run, jump, or throw, with the player's literal physical exhaustion as part of the joke implicit in the title. It's one of the many decathlon games the Atari 2600 added to its sports catalog in its final stretch. Its formula of exhausting reflexes links it directly to a whole family of Olympic games of the era, designed both for personal challenge and for direct competition between friends in front of the same TV.
