1980s style game from The Guardian tests your medalist potential

We’re mere days from the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics, which means it’s too late to punch your ticket for a spot at the London Games. Yet, all of us have considered whether we have the tenacity to ever make that dream a reality. Well, wonder no longer. The team at The Guardian created an interactive game to access the potential of your medalist musings—and it’s styled after 1980s era video games. Play it here.
