Sandra asks…
One of the sports of the original Greek Olympics is returning to the games in Beijing 2008. Can you name it?
The original sport still exists as the Greek rules and is the foundation of many a discipline like the sport today. In Beijing 2008 the sport will be in Chinese rules very similar to the Greek. The Chinese sport in fact has origins from the ancient Greek art. The sport is considered a platform to one of the most popular and well paid international professional sports. The Chinese follow it religiously and the Yakuza owns the rights of the professional code.

When you say the original Greek Olympics then you must mean the Ancient Olympic Games. I'm going to say the sport your talking about is Pankration as it was in the Ancient Games and is a combat sport that originated in Greece. Yes this sport is very similar to today's Mixed Martial Arts in that it combines Grappling, Boxing and Wrestling. Today it also incorporates styles of Karate, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and Tae Kwon DO. Your jumping the gun on it returning to the Olympics as Pankration was allowed to be a Demonstration Sport Exhibition status at the 2004 games I couln't find anything for 2008. Good news was in 2007 Pankration joined FILA- Olympic governing body for Wrestling and could someday be a part of the Olympics as a discipline of Wrestling. Since 1995 Greek Sports ministry has been trying to this sport back to the Olympics.

The game is called... " The Uninvited " http://www.vgmastersclub.com/roms/nes/Uninvited.jpg http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/dos-games/2140-1.jpg ICOM Simulations, Inc. Publisher: MindScape Platform: Apple IIGS Commodore Amiga Atari ST Commodore 64 Apple Macintosh NES Famicom PC PocketPC Release date: 1986 Mac 1991 NES 1993 Windows an excellent page giving a complete synopsis of the game http://www.giantbomb.com/uninvited/61-9775/ http://www.giantbomb.com/uninvited/61-9775/all-images/52-180342/uninvited/51-696431/ " ...In the first floor hallway, if you try a door a mysterious woman appears with her back to you, "dressed like Scarlett O'Hara", and she seems completely harmless - if you're playing the NES version there's even a chipper "hey, a cute lady!" tune in the background. But if you do something to get her attention (trying the door again, hitting her, trying to open her) she turns around and reveals her face: A bleached white skull, the only way to get rid of her is to find a bottle labeled "no-ghost" in the upstairs closet, and even then you have to make sure to open the bottle before trying to use it on her. Otherwise, nothing happens and she kills you. With this, and the fact that she's the first thing that can kill you in the game (unless you lingered too long in the wrecked car) and thus, your first death, she's pretty much become the game's mascot, even appearing on the NES version's cover art ... " With the advent of emulation, you can play this game again in all it's versions on your pc - no charge ...
