My summer games include...

1. California Games (Apple II) - I know that the Epyx Games series have a history of horrible ports, but the apple II was where it was at. Sure, the controls seemed arbitrary, but when you get them figured out, they can honestly be a lot of fun. Just make sure you play them on the apple II.

2. Wave Race 64 -this was where it was at! Awesome arcade racing, stunts and maps that were fun to explore and have fun with friends.

3. Outlaw golf - I don't know what it is about arcade sports games that just say summer to me. Outlaw golf started as such a fun, entertaining golf game with great commentary and A really solid golf mechanics. too bad the other games in the series slowly degraded.

For some odd reason I want to say yes....a million times yes. Just for the heck of it I'll throw this one into the mix since I just got it: Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games and could we count F-zero War Zones(gba)?
