With the Sochi Winter Olympics starting tonight, I thought we’d feature the weirdest game associated with the Olympics – Izzy’s Quest for the Olympic Rings. The platformer stars the mascot of the Games of the XXVI Olympiad, Whatizit, better known as Izzy. Unfortunately, the game isn’t particularly notable and the character is considered one of the worst Olympic mascots.

Early Olympic games are pretty much the same – controller smashing trash. Of the two Summer Olympics video games on the Mega Drive, Olympic Gold is the better one by a mile.
