Commenting nearly a year late because I'm reading through the posts linked in the most recent Apple post, and holy crap, Olympic Decathlon! I went to a summer camp in the early '80s that had Apple IIs, and that was one of the few games there, so we played it like crazy, and decades later, that awful Apple audio of the Olympic theme song still gets stuck in my head!
(Also, great post!)
You are the only person I have ever met who played that game! I think most people assume it's a figment of my imagination. I can hear the anthem now.

Right? Such an earworm.
I feel like only folks who had the chance to play it back in the day are familiar with it -- it's not like Wizardry or Ultima or the Infocom games where there's been this lasting legacy.

I guess it was a big deal back then:

It was by Microsoft? Honestly shocked at that -- the only game of theirs I thought I could name from the pre-Xbox era (other than the ones packed with Windows) was Flight Simulator.

I only know like 3 computer games, and Flight Simulator was the other one.
