... facial features on each sprite which creates a sense of odd faceless imagery. The soundtrack is also of a comparably poor standard and features very primitive musical scores and other effects which screech throughout play. Many players would likely opt to play this game in silence. Overall, I would not recommend this title to prospective buyers.

The format of Summer Games follows on from International Track & Field which was released around the turn of the year.
