Track & Field Game in/near Ontario
« on: January 12, 2005, 12:20:49 am »
Just wondering if anyone has a Track & Field game at home or know where one is in the Ontario area?  As I've been practicing lately and can easily beat the Twin Galaxies Track & Field record.

Let me know.

Thanks!
-GG

Shoot, I'll have to look when I get home to be certain, but I think even I have beaten that score.  And I don't consider myself to be a superstar or anything at Track and Field.

I've been playing the game using Twin Galaxies settings.  And I've been easliy finishing over 120,000.  So I can beat the Twin Galaxies score with ease.

Now I just need to find a Track & Field game.

i though you could use MAME for them, you jsut had to have some extra documentation

What kind of buttons are you playing with? I have found that makes a big difference in how fast you can get your player running. The original of course had leaf switches.
NO MORE!!

The standard Happ pushbuttons.  It's not buttons that make a difference... it's technique..   ;D

Yesterday I got 8.67m in the 100m.

Just a note...there's a difference in the rules between the bounty and the official settings shown on the Twin Galaxies link.

The link says: "Rules: Difficulty : 2-Normal. Start Units : 2. Extended round : On. "
The bounty says: "difficulty = 2 (Normal), starting lives = 2, bonus life = None, Game is OVER after last event"

I believe this means that you get only 1 pass through all of the events. When you finish the high jump, you're done. That is a setting on the game.

That also makes more sense, because 98,000 is an unbelievable score with those settings.

GGK - you're right, it's technique. But, you'll probably have to shave another second or so off of your 100m, and have similarly great scores in the other events in order to break the 98,000.

Yeah, I've never broken that on just one pass through the events.
