Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
Documented for this version
Exact DOS button assignments vary by release and hardware configuration.
Consult the in-game or included control setup before starting.
How it plays
Players select one or more events and compete individually or in a group. Events use side views or fixed event screens, with the objective of achieving the best time, distance, score, or placement.
Progression is based on performance rather than character development. Players repeat events to improve technique, then compare results through standings, medals, or overall competition results. Keyboard and joystick behavior may differ between DOS releases.
Plan your run
Learn the input rhythm for each event instead of simply pressing buttons as quickly as possible. Small timing errors can sharply reduce distance, speed, or accuracy.
Before you begin
Treat each event as a timing challenge; frantic input is not always optimal.
Use a compatible joystick when the keyboard feels imprecise.
Compare scores after several attempts rather than judging a single run.
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.
