Summer Olympix AKA Reach Out for gold?

Toaks · 18 October 2006, 16:21

bumped into this one , might be usefull in HOL (ie..also known as...) , also on that page it say US GOLD but if you search in google it find it under Linel.

Seems the Cd32 version of this game changed publishers or something.

perhaps the PC version was called "Reach Out For Gold" and the Amiga version "Summer Olympix" ???

even if they are the same game...

Yeah we see that with some games, even on same platform like Lemmings 3 which is called Lemmings Chronicles in US and in EU its All New World of Lemmings.

don't know really but i think it would be nice to have some more info in hol about this game, hopefully what i found will give some hints to you guys.

as for the game, yes its the same as i tried it in dosbox and i love this game on the cd32, best sports game around since summer*winter and california games 1.

cheers

While we're at it, B.A.T. II on the Amiga is actually called The Koshan Conspiracy on the PC, please update too

I'd say "Reach Out for Gold" was the pre-release title of the Amiga version. An OCS/ECS disk version was reviewed in Amiga Joker in late 1992 and was going to be published by Linel. For whatever reason it never was released on disk by Linel and then popped up as a planned CD32 release a year later:

Flair mustn't have liked the game's title and renamed the CD32 version to Summer Olympix.

Yeah...you are right...

Does anybody have a Manual for this? I cant find it Online and its missing on HOL.

A proper WHDLoad version would also very welcomed.

Archery has a slight graphical glitch when you miss and
skewering clay pigeons has also problems sooner or later.

(no matter what i do, those 2 events are always bugged)

There was a Crack by Access that also fixed the need for a CD32 Joypad and runs on all Amigas. (its a OCS 1MB game anyway)

A WHDload save would be very much appreciated
