Thanks for the comments, Bill & Chris. California Games is probably more popular with some because it was "cooler," featuring a great soundtrack and more stuff in there to appeal to a teenage audience (which make the Atari L y n x a very nice candidate for a port; too bad the system tanked). However, I think the Olympics-based ones may have broader appeal (at least demographic wise).
Thanks for listing some other games of this type, Bill. I haven't heard of several of those you mentioned. How similar are they to Epyx?
