100m Sprint

110m Hurdles

Long Jump

Archery

Diving

Weight Lifting

This one has a different approach to Summer Games. Out of the seven events, three: 100m sprint, 110m hurdles and long jump, all require waggling power. Even so, there's still skill involved whilst you're pumping away.

The other events are archery, diving, and two categories of weightlifting. These events require timing and quick reflexes, similar to some of the events on Track and Field II.

Again, this isn't a copy of the arcade machine and has a different scoring system, but will appeal strongly to its fans, making a nice complement to the Quicksilva/Epyx program.
