Summer Games simulates a virtual Olympics called the "Epyx Games" where players choose countries and compete in events like pole vault, platform diving, sprinting, gymnastics amd swimming. It was ported to the Sega Master System in 1991 and is the first in Epyx's Games series. A North American release was planned and advertised, but did not materialise.
A sequel to Konami's Track & Field based on the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. The game features three different playing modes and 15 different sporting events.
Each computer athlete has a fictional name and nationality (choosing from UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, USA, Japan and the Unified Team, everyone with its own anthem snippet) and actual strengths and weaknesses: J. Balen, for instance, is a frequent 100 m and 110 m hurdles record breaker but only an average hammer thrower. Also, each computer controlled player seems better in a particular event depending on his country: Germans usually take the top spots in archery, Italians on swimming, Russians on pole vault, Americans on sprinting and so on.
