Opinions needed for Track & Field style games
IG-88:
I love this.
I have my son and nephew over for the past week and he brings along his Xbox360. We go out and rent 2 games at blockbuster (for damned near $18!!!) and I get them all set up in the basement to play. My nephew turns on my bartop and scrolls thru the games until he gets to Track & Field. Being a sports nut he tried it out. First thing out of my sons mouth is "jeeze lame graphics" :P Well, I say the standard "it's not all about the graphics but gameplay" bit and walk away. 2 hrs later they are still playing it. And for the entire whole week they played it, having a blast setting world records and trying to beat them. I spent quite a few hours just watching them knock my initials off the board and loving every minute of it! ;D
So, I think I am gonna build another small cab that is dedicated to the Track & Field type games and send home to them. I want to stick with the older stuff, nothing above SNES or Genesis I think. And only games that can be played with the 3 button type set-up that T&F uses.
Can you all give me some good recommendations for these types of games? Arcade, console or whatever?

'88 Games is great
There's one I can't think of at the moment that's really over the top and cartoony.

If you do a track and field, go old school with the buttons and not a trackball! I have a comb under my cp just for track and field matches (tell you how old I am lol)! Great game that we have a blast playing to this day.
