Play The Games - Summer Challenge Online

Remember when sports games didn’t need hyper-realistic graphics to be ridiculously fun? The Games: Summer Challenge on MS-DOS nails that vibe—it’s all about mashing keys like a maniac to sprint, swim, or fling arrows with questionable accuracy. The controls take a minute to get used to (good luck not faceplanting in the hurdles at first), but once you do, it’s weirdly satisfying.

Two-player mode is where it really shines—nothing like watching your friend’s cyclist wobble off the track because they got too greedy with the speed boosts. Yeah, the physics are janky by today’s standards, but that’s half the charm. It’s the kind of game where bronze feels like a tragedy and gold makes you yell at the screen. Pure, uncomplicated nostalgia.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
