Summer Games II | C64 Retro Gaming | Brothers In Arms Ep 7

Brothers Stephen and Anthony playthrough the C64 retro gaming classic Summer Games II (Epyx 1985). It’s a rematch following Stephen’s previous victory in Winter Games and Ant feels the need to apologies to Denmark upfront this time. Along the way they rename the C64 Mini to The Cracker Barrel, get disqualified before finishing, discuss toeing the spacebar, discover riding a bike isn’t like riding a bike, get hit in the boob, come in fencing like a wrecking ball, keep activating the virtual keyboard, PIVOT! and revel in the glory of winning before flying off on a jet pack.

Stephen and Anthony Caulfield were 6 and 10 years old when they got their hands on a Commodore 64, thanks to their dad briefly working for Music Sales, a company tasked with producing music software for the machine in the 1980's.

The 'Brothers in Arms' series sees Stephen and Anthony playing a collection of C64 games they (attempted) to play as kids to see if they can do any better as adults.

We're using The C64 Mini from Retro Games (not a sponsor) to emulate the original games you can see on the shelves behind us that we own from back in the day, and for speed have loaded them into The C64 Mini so we can play them easily.
