Okeyday...what's your best on Track and Field without cheats? (this includes using butterknives, combs, etc. Just your fingers and your console)

I've been told I'm pretty good...but I think I'm more in the average range.

Here are my best to date:

100m  8.90 secs
longjump  9.62 m
javelin  95.48m
110m hurdles 10.72 secs
hammer throw  95.50m
high jump 2.46m

ya know....

I played a track and field that had a rollerball once. The scores on that was unbelievably high. Anyone else ever see a track and field with a rollerball?

ArtMAME:

Pretty good scores there.   :notworthy:

I once played Track and Field for over 4 hours on one quarter, my score was over a million I think.  It was ridiculous.  After a few levels, the qualifying times and distances did not change anymore, so once you mastered those, you could keep playing untill you got tired of it.

Never seen one with a rollerball, but rollerball control panels for T&F do appear on Ebay ocasionally. 

Speaking of cheats, I had some Happ ultimate joysticks on my CP and I could use those for running.  The ultimates had so much "slop" that you could push it to the left or right, then release it, then catch it when it sprung back and then release it again, etc... It was pretty cool.

I have seen people use a pencil also.  There was one joker I saw once who used an electric toothbrush.

Apart from enablling the cheat in MAME, does any body out there have other creative ways of cheating at T&F, ?

I hit the mil mark last night myself...and you are correct...after the 3rd match the qualifying stays the same...just wanted to see if I could do it (the million that is).

I have seen the trackball versions...I just don't really like them...I do imagine you could crank out some times in the 7's with a track :o


LOL!...you should have added the BK guy next to the bowing smiley

 :notworthy: :creep:   :laugh2:

One of my all-time favs.  But, the game becomes much more interesting when drinking is involved.  Makes for a fantastic handicapping system... <grin>

The ultimate 'cheat' for T&F was the plastic knife or comb.  Before the arcades started attaching plastic protectors on the buttons, you could place the knife/comb in between your middle and index finger and get perfect left-right button action on the thing...
