Checking my inbox for the latest game news, and I’ve found out through Saberman, that JOTD’s previously mentioned work in progress Arcade to Amiga port of the button mashing game of ‘Track & Field’ by Centuri/Konami. Has finally been released as a v.1.01 for the Commodore Amiga with music by n09! A game in which, as one person puts it ” Is Going to be a big hit this one (in relative Amiga terms) as its a absolute belter of a game, on par with Hyper Sports for pure addictiveness!”.
Here’s the game info from wikipedia. “Players compete in a series of events, most involving alternately pressing 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. The game was a worldwide commercial success in arcades, becoming one of the most successful arcade games of 1984”.
