Hyper Olympics (track n field)
teef two:
Arrrgh - Daley Thompsons Decathlon :o. We used to have to do the 1500m in shifts with the horrible commodore 64 joystick.
The PS2 Athens 2004 game brought back memories of that with its extreme pain in the 400m.
Floyd10:
I cant even watch this sport.. how can you play it?
rockhopper:
Yeah, never saw a Track n Field here.
And I remember the good old decathlon days of the C64 too!
microwrx:
Track n Field is the US name for it (same situation as Sega Genisis and Mega Drive). I have a Konami Hyper Olympics PCB and it has a dip switch to set it to either Hyper Olympics or Track n Field.
The only Hyper Olympics machine I ever played had buttons, very low profile buttons that it was easy to run a coin over, not that I ever did. I watched plenty of people who did though, one guy even brought in an electric toothbrush to run over the run button. Hard to beat records that have been scored that way.
