SUMMER GAMES
The first Epyx sports simulation, comprising eight events: 100m Dash and 4x400m Relay,
Relay and 100m Freestyle Swimming, Diving, Pole Vault, Gymnastics and Skeet Shooting.
All are very playable and none rely on exhausting joystick-waggling.
SUMMER GAMES 2
The second collection of eight sports which exhibited even more variety and graphical
excellence than the first one. The events covered in this package are the Triple Jump,
Rowing, Javelin, Show Jumping, High Jump, Fencing, Canoeing, and Cycling.
WINTER GAMES
A set of seven suitable snowy games, including Figure Skating, Speed Skating, Free Skating,
Hot Dog (a sort of stunt ski-ing), Ski Jump, Bobsled and Biathlon. Much more playable
than Epyx's more recent The Games: Winter Edition.
OVERALL 81%
A pricey but worthwhile compilation of some beautifully presented and very playable conversions
of the subject sports. Gold, Silver Bronze comes recommended even if you have one of
the three games in your software collection already.
