bradhig1 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I have two commerical versions of summer games ii in which some events don't work. One copy only kayaking will not load. One the copy I got today Equestrian loads with garbled graphics and cycling won't load at all. Can either of these be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Only maybe, but troubleshooting will be a bit in-depth. You might just be better off finding a copy through various sources available and making new disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 If I recall correctly, Summer Games 1 was so crash prone that Epyx would gather a cracked, fixed version of that game for the re-release. I don't know if the same was true about Summer Games 2, but it wouldn't surprise me if crackers managed to patch the bugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I think one or two bugs were fixed for the US Gold release of SG2 in Europe. But I've never had issue running either SG or SG2 originals here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 See also "Miscellaneous" on this page: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Summer_Games I remember that SG1 was out of stock for a while before it got re-released at full price in c:a 1986-87, several years after its prime, and then quickly went on budget after that. I suppose the re-release was somewhat bug fixed, and yet more fixes were done for the Gold Silver Bronze release a few years later. Arnold's C64 FTP site has originals in G64 format, if you have equipment capable of writing those. I don't know if the disks contain any meta data beyond what a D64 holds.
