About Track & Field

Track & Field is a sports game simulating events from the Summer Olympic Games. Players must meet qualifying standards, such as minimum distances or maximum times, to advance, with these requirements becoming progressively more challenging.

The specific events available vary between different releases of the game. While the core set includes activities like the 100 meter dash, javelin throw, and long jump, certain versions feature unique alterations. For instance, the NES edition incorporates skeet shooting, archery, and the triple jump, while omitting the hammer throw and a 400 meter dash found in other iterations.

The game supports two players, who compete by taking turns. This structure allows for direct competition across the various athletic disciplines.
