The Agony of Defeat, from Summer Games to California Games II: The Epyx Fail Reel

I spent the two weeks of the Olympic games in Sochi posting articles on my site about the vaunted Games series from Epyx. To close things out I produced what I call the Epyx Fail Reel, a compilation of all my F-ups while recording footage for the various articles.

So, for your consideration, the Epyx Fail Reel: http://thedoteaters.com/?p=...

OMFG I died laughing. I played and failed at most of these in my younger days. What a blast from the past!

AceofStaves4109d ago

So many memories of these games. What great times!

Many a keyboard on C64 took a beating from the 100m sprint. Summer games, Winter Games and Californian Games are some of my best gaming memories ever. I fell sorry for kids that grew up after Playstation era.

Same here. Got through waay too many of those flimsy joysticks with games like these on my c64. They should make a wiimote or move version where you just convulse violently until the sprint's finished...

These games bring back some of my most fond gaming moments. Playing these games with a group of friends was priceless. Thanks for the memories and for everybody who posted finally NOT making me feel old!!! LOL

Hacky Sacking and Surfing in California Games fueled my gaming addiction back in the day! It's amazing how you kinda forget those memories until your brain gets a kickstart by seeing something like this. Good times indeed.

Remake of the Iconic Amiga 500 Launches Next Year

The A500 Mini is, as the name implies, a miniature remake of The Amiga 500. It’s a new system being worked on by Retro Games, the same company behind the brilliant C64 Mini, a miniature version of the Commodore 64, one of the most famous systems of its time.

Pretty neat that it will also emulate the AGA chipset found in the 1200 and 4000. I miss my A1200 but if this can also be used to play CD32 ROMs (since that was an A1200 with CD drive) then this could be a really neat mini to have. The controller pictured is a CD32 style so Id guess the answer is yes.

My parents owned it and I grew up with this as a kid. Ishar series. Settlers, Dungeon Master, and countless others. Such classics. Definiately one to keep on the radar.

I had an Amiga 1200 back in the early 90s so this is a yes from me.

Knightofelemia1385d ago (Edited 1385d ago )

This is before my time I might snag a C64 mini always been curious about pc games from back in the day. I wonder if the ZX Spectrum will get a mini next or if one of the old Atari pc's will get a mini also?

Oh hell yeah, gimme gimme.
