Konami '88 or '88 Games is the third in a game series by Konami, where you test your Olympic skills against other world-class athletes. Bronze or silver medals are not good enough - you have to go for the gold to get to the next event. However, you must at least qualify in each event in order to compete in the next event:

• 100m Dash : Race against the other athletes as well as the clock. This is just a warm-up compared to the events to come.
• Long Jump : Player dashes to the line, leaps, and propels his body as far as he is able. The player controls the speed and angle of the jump.
• 400m Relay (Qualifying Heat): Speed and timing are crucial in this event. Player must coordinate the baton hand-off perfectly for the best qualifying time.
• Skeet Shooting : Player can aim left and right at the clay pigeons and must prove that he is a sure shot. A chance for bonus points is given for excellent marksmanship.
• 110m Hurdles : Player sprints down the track, timing his jumps perfectly to clear all of the hurdles and reach the finish line in time.
• Archery : This is a trial of the player's proficiency in using a bow and arrow. The player can decide the direction and force of the wind, which will help in demonstrating his skill as a sharpshooter.
• Javelin : The player darts to the line and throws the javelin with all his might. The player controls the height of the javelin.
• High Jump : Another test of speed and strength as the player runs to the line and hurls his body over the bar. The player can control his angle above the bar.
• 400m Relay - The Final Race : The final test of physical training as the player faces the challenging relay again.
