My Review

This game is the first sport one I ever bought. This is a republished version of the original Track & Field for the Summer Olympics of 1992. The game most involves alternately pressing one/two buttons as quickly as possible to make the onscreen character run faster.

The game uses a horizontal side-scrolling format, displaying one or two tracks at a time, a large scoreboard that shows world records and current attempts, and a packed audience in the background.

This is one of such game that can destroy your fingers and your controllers 😆.

Trivia & Fun Facts

  • The game features an 8-bit rendition of the "Chariots of Fire" theme by Vangelis as its opening song, just like the arcade original
