RetroKork - GI Joe

You may be thinking "GI Joe? Is he now talking about cartoons? Or action figures?" But no, this is about Epyx' video game adaptation for the Commodore 64.

RetroKork - World Games

What happens when you've exhausted all Winter and Summer Games? If you're Epyx, today's game is the solution: Sports done all around the globe, all held together by a very, very weak unifying thread... Or as I like to call it: "World Games".

RetroKork - Break Dance (and Break Street)

In the 1980s, Breakdancing (or breaking, b-boying/b-girling as the more professional participants prefer to call it) was basically a widespread craze going alongside the rise of hip hop as a musical genre into mainstream. And of course that meant we had to get video games on that topic. Video games for the Commodore 64 in this case.

RetroKork - Winter Games

Now, since over here it's still more like fall and less like winter, I'm going to play (and talk about) Epyx' other most famous "Games" game besides Summer Games: Winter Games!

RetroKork - Summer Games

Since the summer is coming around (literally - we'll have 32°C/89.6F today over here) I think it's time to play some Summer Games.

RetroKork - California Games

Epyx was often seen as the olympic sports game creator for the Commodore 64 system.

But first they didn't have the olympic license (that one they got for their "The Games" titles) and then - they created a few less olympic "Games" games, like "California Games".
