Summer Games
DOSSports
Summer Games is a sports party game developed and published by Epyx for DOS. It presents a collection of Olympic-style events rather than a single continuous sport, letting players compete for high scores and medals across several disciplines. The play style emphasizes timing, rhythm, and rapid repeated inputs, with support for competition between multiple players on the same computer. Each event uses simple controls but demands practice to master. The game is part of Epyx’s influential 1980s sports catalog and was generally remembered for its accessible multiplayer format, event variety, and energetic presentation, although the exact DOS experience can vary with the computer and controller setup.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
