content: In the early 1980s, the California game company Epyx decided to shift to focus of its offerings from strategic games to action games. Summer Games - billed as a "strategy game for the action-game player," offered participants an opportunity to compete in virtual versions of the pole vault, diving, relay racing, dash racing, gymnastics, freestyle swinning, and skeet shooting. The programs are on a 5 1/4" diskette with a brochure of instructions. This version of the game was for Apple II computers. The instructions list the designers and the programmer for the Apple version of the game.
