Publisher: Sega
Released: 1991
Summer Games is a sports title that was released on numerous platforms including the Atari 7800 (1987).
+ Presentation is excellent with high-quality chip-tune versions of all eight national anthems and tons of catchy jingles.
- However, the game makes you listen to them on repeat and the tunes irritatingly hold up your attempts at each event.
- 100m Dash has little excitement, as the CPU pacer runs at a pathetically slow speed and you'll always be miles ahead.
- Platform Diving is choppier than the Atari 7800 version and Gymnastics has a crude way to consistently gain a top score.
- Pole Vault has finicky timing over 5.10 height, and 100m Freestyle favours button bashing over the 7800's stroke cadence.
- Only five events and the judges' scores can vary wildly, with the difference sometimes being a whole 2-3 points.
