Summer Games
“Whereas the likes of Activision’s Decathlon
focussed on the use of blistering brute force to
achieve virtual athletic glory, Epyx’s approach
to a sports simulation was a more sophisticated
affair. The detail, fluidity and realism were
instantly remarkable, but it was the novel use
of more involved control systems that made
Summer Games so special. Best of all: up to eight
people could compete around the same telly.”
