Summer Games is a classic sports competition released for the Atari 7800 that lets players compete in a variety of Olympic-style athletic events. You can test your reflexes and timing across several disciplines, aiming to take home the gold medal.
How to Play
Your goal is to achieve the best time, highest score, or furthest distance in each specific event. You control your athlete using the Arrow keys (which emulate the joystick for movement and building speed) along with the Z and X keys (acting as the fire buttons) to perform actions like jumping or starting an event.
Tips for Success
In the track events, finding a consistent, rapid rhythm with the controls is much more effective than erratic button mashing. For skill-based events like diving, pay close attention to timingโinitiating your moves at the peak of a jump will help you stick the landing and score higher with the judges.
