Muita variação de gameplay, e todas intuitivas e divertidas, sendo um ótimo jogo pra época e com gráficos muito bonitos.

Nota: 7/10 (★★★☆) - Bom

This game made me work out as a child just to beat Cheetah. Once I finally did, my friend used his hands and showed me how easy the game could be. I no longer trust anything.

Nunca entendi como bater o recorde na última modalidade de pular a barra. A barra é fixa numa altura, como eu vou mudar ela pra bater o recorde??
De resto é bem bom, anos depois eu descobri qual o esquema do arco e flecha, e é muito satisfatório conseguir perfeito no de tiro de disco.
Mas admito que nunca joguei ele sem um controle turbo kkkk

A mix of olympic mini games that are mostly about timing and a lot of button mashing. Really nice visuals and animations along with good use of synth voices.

Arcade Week: Day #5

Remember a while back when I said that paperboy was the biggest ‘dad game’ I ever played? Well now I retract that statement. I bamboozled you all. The actual biggest ‘dad game’ of all time is track & field. Konami’s forgotten money-making masterpiece.

So what do you do in track & field? I’m glad you asked. You have 2 buttons, run and action which helps you in 1 of 6 competitions: 100 meter dash (you alternate button presses to run as fast as you can), long jump (you run by pressing the button and then press jump at the right moment), javelin throw (similar to long jump but you throw a javelin), 110 meter hurdles (run by pressing the button and jumping at the correct time), hammer throw (you spin and then press the correct button at the right time), and the high jump (you run and then hold down the action button). In each even you have to get a qualifying time or or level so that player can get to the next competition. If you fail you lose a life, if you don’t have any lives left, you probably ain’t gonna be seeing another Olympics until you put in a few more quarters.

Overall, track & field is actually a pretty fun game all things considered. It has some pretty decent competitions and I find it really fun to get one of your friends to help you spam buttons whilst you focus on another. Sure, you both might be left with hurting hands but I’m sure it’ll all be worth it in the end.

Good selection of events, funny announcer, dad game, hurt my hand
