The Great Track & Field Experiment
Le Chuck:
So I tried the challenge a few different ways:
Happ micro switch buttons - few different techniques, lot of furious pounding - low 10sec
Spitfire GGG joystick left right waggle - high 8s low 9s (totally better but feel like I'm cheeting)
Omni 2 GGG joystick left right waggle - mid 10s. Guess the Omni has a longer throw than the Spitfire, or I was getting tired.
I suck at the hurdles but can now own the sprints and jumps.
Green Giant:
I have always been naturally good at track and field. You really have to hope for good genetics, and you must do the events which you are built for.
I am tall with fast twitch muscles so I stick to sprinting events like the 100 and 200. If you run every day and work on getting a fast start you can improve your track and field times.
ark_ader:
Same as the pencil method but with a Bic Pen.
In the UK arcades T&F was played with a joystick.
That will get you some stonking good scores with a Joy.
Kevin Mullins:
This thread reminds me... I need to get leaf switch buttons put in my machine one of these days. :P
(leafs just feel/work much better)
Gray_Area:
Leafs might be fine if they're in good shape. I played the other night on a restored machine, and the leafs were a little fluffy. I do better at home on my microswitch buttons.
I recall seeing the finger rolling technique being from index to pinky. I can at least drum my fingers pinky to index real fast.
