Review

Very nice game... at least in this "olympics", the stadiums are finished :P :P LOL

"ticket number"
 

hey, where is the "ticket number"? i can't play it!! :evil:

try "1234"

Use the sum. file, then u don't have to know ticket numbers :w00t:

Did you find out the ticket number ?

Ahum something isnt working, i cant jump nor throw the javelin right. Help!!!

Wow, the winter version of this game was one of my childhood favourites, so you can imagine how hyped I was about this game. Now I gotta go and play it :Brain:

How to throw JAVELIN?! I use spacebar but i couldnt get right angle when my speed is upon 16 kmh

I can't play both winter and summerchallenge. The game starts fine, but when in the main-menu and after selecting "training" or "tournament" the game crashes and it states:

"Please remove your debugger before runnig the games: Winter Challenge"
The same goes for the summer challenge....

What can I do to let this game run as it should, since I have no idea whatever that debugger might be.
I run normal windows98, let me know...

cheers!

Hit enter as fast as you can to gain speed. Then just before you reach the line, HOLD space bar for a certain time, which will quickly increase the angle. 45° should theoretically give the best results, though I remember getting decent results with higher angles (following about the diagonal of the rectangle in which the angle is shown).

for the debbuger question go here

Hello :bye:

I love Summer Challenge as well :w00t:

I beat all opponents :sneaky:

Is it possible to throw javelin over 100m without foot fault :huh:
Is it possible to jump 250cm in high jump :huh:

I don't have other problems :)

Are there other great challenges/games (winter, summer, olympic,...) around :ph34r: I just love olympics :w00t:

Miro.

I'm sure I'd enjoy this game with my friends... IF the sum. file actualy did what that post clamed... i cant even play the game with out that ticket number ju... thing.

stai cool.you have do enter the setup (winter and summer and there only press OK)
in-game setup.teh problem is the sound card (unknow at that time)
:cheers:

chill out.....all you have to do is enter the sum.bat file => a screen of mea culpa appears =>press enter several times
:max:

A great game for its time. The most events are in 3D-view. A very good "sequel" of Epyx´s popular "Summer Games" for the C64 and "Summer Edition" for C64 and PC.
Also Accolade published "Winter Challenge".

Im having a problem starting the game.. im asked for some codes to start each event.. please do reply under hari_299@yahoo.co.in

Did you find out the ticket number ? [/b][/quote]
i downloaded the game yesterday, n i too did not know how to proceed coz i don't know the ticket no.

Harish & guest: isn't the post above the solution to what you're asking? I can't check here, but have you tried this?

I can't play because it says me : Can't find music device, and then the program stop. :cry: :wall:
I try with s.bat, s.exe, sum.bat...but ever give me the same result. :not_ok:
What can I do? I must play with this game, please help me!! :kosta:
Thanks!!!!

I've got another problem. I have been playing this game for a coulple of days, and all of a sodden it gives me this message:

Please remove your debugger before running summer challenge.

The game starts fine (in DoxBox) rigth up to the point where i have to chose between Train, Tournament, Setup and Exit. It dosn't ask for any ticket number.

When I want to start Tournament it says that I should enter tournament disk? What should I do?

I just can't start the game. If I doubleclick on S, Sum or Summer, the game just starts with a black screen and then nothing happens (no accolade animation, no reaction on any key). Is this a problem with my win xp version? Or have I to use DosBox or any mode of compatibility?

Yes, you have to use Dosbox, if not you can´t run the game..... :whistle:

wtf is "ticket number" ?? 1234 dosent work :: :/

*Here's what the GUEST - Morten wrote. Unfortunately he put his e-mail as his guest name and sharing unregisted guests e-mails is against our policy*

Well, you might need to use DosBox to run the game, and (here we go again :P ) try going into the setup menu before starting anything. Just enter the menu, you don't need to change anything.

If You want to play without the ticket key, open the game with sum.bat and press the up arrow and you have the game:D

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Min @ Mar 19 2005, 10:02 AM) [snapback]81762[/snapback]</div>Love this game! Played winter challenge as a kid, too. the similar layout was enough to make me happy!!! :kosta:

how to open this with sum.bat ?

The same way you'd run any other game.

I can't throw the javelin properly or release the pole in the pole vault. Even if I only tap the space bar the angle still keeps rising up to the maximum, resulting in crappy throws. I assume the problem is the same in the pole vault...

On Winter Games I have two problems that I can't figure out..

In the luge, at about 57-58 seconds in, on a huge right curve, the run will just stop and show the results.. and the results of that run look as if you've dq'd (or flown over the wall). It doesn't do it on every run, but it seems the faster you're going it tends to just abort the run.

Then, in ice skating, on the last lap (think it's the last lap), the game pulls you off the track in the curve. Can't really accelerate or turn, and if you try to take off it pulls you clear to the outside wall. No evident fix, and I have yet to make a run in skating that this doesn't happen on (it ends up making you fall when the wall is hit, and you are dq'd)


Anyone had these? What to fix?

My record at javelin was 111 metres :titan: , unfortunately, forgot to backup demo and formated it :tai:

fajne ^^

If I use "1234" then the program tells me that I used the wrong ticket number and to try again. And if I use simply one number - then the program ends abrupt and shows me at DOS: "Copy Protection Failure"...

What to do ?

Cheriooo.

Solution: "try to start SUM.BAT at summer challenge directory - this will solve this problem"

I found this solution here (in German language): http://dos.skillreactor.org/viewtopic.php?p=3231#3231

Lösung: "probier bei der Version von Summer Challenge von Abandonia mal die SUM.BAT, die mit dabei ist... Das sollte das "Problem" lösen."

Try that because it works to me... :ok:

How to jum further than 90 meters? I'm searching help anywhere :sos: :|

You must do several things to play this game...

1. Run the game in DOSBox 0.67 or later, get 0.72 if you haven't already.
2. Run sumcrack.exe then summer.exe.
3. Press the up arrow key at the accolade logo for good luck.
4. View the setup screen (2nd button from the right at the main menu).
5. Exit the setup screen then select practice or tournament.
6. Enter 1234 to get past the copy protection.

Start the program sumcrack.exe then the game, & enter 1234 after viewing the setup screen. I know, very wierd.

Sweet!
 

Never knew this even existed; should be a fun compliment to the Winter edition!

Great game obviously, but some questions remain unanswered!

Possible to throw over 100 metres?
Possible to jump over 2.50 metres?

If anyone made it, what speeds are required?

I mean 6.20 in the pole vault can be done fairly easy so 2.50 should be possible?

This and Winter Challenge are now available on GOG, in time for the supposed Tokyo Olympics season (which was delayed to 2021).
