OK, if this somehow made it to PC, I will be doing backflips of joy*.

Epyx released three fantastic old-school Olympics games; Summer Games I, Summer Games II, and Winter Games. I still play the originals on Apple IIe (in black-and-yellow display, no less!) and I once played Winter Games on AtariST. Was there ever a port to PC, and if so, might anyone be so kind as to point me towards it?

(Side request: Can anyone explain to me how the heck to work High Jump in Summer Games II for Apple IIe?! I figured out every other event for every other game except that one. :ranting: )

*backflips of joy not guaranteed.

Summer Games II (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=1086)
Winter Games (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?name=Winter+Games)

I could find those two, but no Summer Games I.

Do I still get some backflips? :whistle:

Do a search on HOTU (http://www.the-underdogs.org/search.php?cat=0&search_game=games&sourceid=firefox) and you shall find what you're looking for. :)

EDIT: I'm getting old and slow. ;)

I'm getting old and slow.

Welcome to my nightmare.

Thanks for the pointers, guys! I'm beginning to get the sense I should add Underdogs to my favourites, right beside Abandonia... but, then again, I'd like a higher post count, so we'll see. :OK:

Oh, one more thing...

Do I still get some backflips?

Hmmmm.... the Gymnastics event was in Summer Games I, so I can't cheap out by having the gymnast stand in as my stunt double, but what the heck!

*backflip! backflip! backflip! backfl- back injury! medic!* Oooh! The pain!
