About The Games: Summer Edition
The Games: Summer Edition is a DOS sports simulation where the player assumes the role of an athlete on the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team. Its events are drawn from the Summer Games, encompassing disciplines such as Archery, Springboard Diving, and Velodrome Sprint Cycling, alongside track and field contests like the Hurdles and Hammer-throw. Gymnastics is represented through the Rings and Uneven Parallel Bars.
Participants may engage with these events individually for practice or as part of a full competition. While designed for solo play against computer opponents, the inclusion of a multiplayer mode supports group play. For assistance, the game's manual functions as a coaching guide, providing instructions to improve performance and detailing historical facts about the Olympic Summer Games.
