Summer Games II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Summer Games II is a sports video game developed by Epyx and released by U.S. Gold based on sports featured in the Summer Olympic Games. Released in 1985 for the Commodore 64, it was also eventually ported to the Apple II and IBM PC platforms. It is a sequel to the popular Summer Games released by Epyx the previous year.

The game was presented as a virtual multi-sport carnival called the "Epyx Games" (there was no official IOC licensing in place) with up to 8 players each choosing a country to represent, and then taking turns competing in various events to try for a medal. World records could be saved to the game disk.

[edit] Events

The game features the following eight events:

• Triple jump
• High jump
• Rowing
• Javelin throw
• Equestrian
• Fencing
• Kayaking
• Cycling

The game allowed the player to compete in all of the events sequentially, compete some events, choose just one event, or practice an event.
