Reception

The Games '92: España received generally negative reviews. CU Amiga called the game an "appalling sports sim". ST Format said the events are badly designed, the graphics average, and controls sluggish. Pelit called The Games '92 one of the worst full-priced games ever released. Amiga Action said the game is "the most complete athletics simulation of all time". The One wrote that all events are "fundamentally simplistic rhytmic joystick wagglers with little subtlety or lasting interest."
