3Summer Challenge is an Olympics style game that includes eight events including Archery, Kayak Race, Equestrian, Hurdles, Pole Vault, High Jump, Javalin, and Cycling. The graphics offer a behind the player 3D view of the action but the frame rate is terrible even with a limited screen size. I like that it includes events not seen in similar games however many of them are bad. The manual doesn't explain the controls which are on a separate card. Pole vault is impossible and there is no simultaneous multiplayer. The slowness of the graphics and unresponsive controls make this odd selection of events pretty bad.
