    RR> What was your favorite game in the original Epyx Games Series?   
      
    RR> Sumer Games   
    RR> Summer Games II   
    RR> Winter Games   
    RR> World Games   
    RR> California Games   
      
   I liked a mix of games from them.  I liked hackey sack and disc toss in   
   California Games, Hot dog and bobsled in Winter Games, and pole vault / diving   
   in Summer Games.   
      
   I never cared for the games where you had to wiggle the joystick back and forth   
   nearly breaking your gear.   
      
   Having the original EPYX controller playing these games on the C64 seems like   
   the best way to play them.  I also enjoyed BMX on the Atari 2600.   
   Convolution BBS - Convolution.us   
      
   ...Strange game.  The only winning move is not to play.
