   JS>  RR> What was your favorite game in the original Epyx Games Series?   
      
      
   JS> I liked a mix of games from them.  I liked hackey sack and disc toss in   
   JS> California Games, Hot dog and bobsled in Winter Games, and pole vault /   
   JS> diving in Summer Games.   
      
   Surprised you did not mention Summer Games: Skeet shooting which is one   
   everyone mentioned.   
      
   Yes the Bobsled was a favorite in Winter Games.   
      
   JS> I never cared for the games where you had to wiggle the joystick back and   
   JS> forth nearly breaking your gear.   
      
   Nearly?  Do you know how many Atari Joysticks I went through on those games?   
   Especially the ones you had to cross controll the Up/Down + Left / Right   
   quadrants?  The Epyx joysticks were best for these events as well as the WilCo   
   Commander joysticks.   
      
   Oh and word to the wise, never play the 100 Meter Dash when you are on the   
   phone with a girlfriend.  You WILL be asked what you are doing, and you might   
   (as in my case.) be called a liar when you respond that you are playing a   
   computer game.
