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... --- End quote --- Yep...I remember seeing people use the comb and plastic knife...I saw some really good scores using that. My kids and I have 2 versions of T&F. One we use cheats on and the other we don't. The drinking handicap should help offset the comb rather nicely I would think. :laugh2: Xam |

yeah, the pencil trick worked GREAT... until you learned how to use 3 or 4 fingers on one hand to all hit one button. I'll have to load it up tonight and see how well I do. I think I can beat most of those scores. All but the hammer throw which doesn't seem to take anything other then perfect timing on the last bar |

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, ? --- End quote --- I always thought High Jump was the last level? No? |

(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 Xam --- End quote --- Yep, these are pretty average times.... |

I'm pretty sure of it. |
