TRACK & FIELD GAMEBOY

TRACK & FIELD GAMEBOY - DMG-KH-SCN

Track & Field, also known as Hyper Olympic[a] in Japan and Europe, is an Olympic-themed sports video game developed by Konami and released in 1983 for arcades. The Japanese release sported an official license for the 1984 Summer Olympics. In Europe, the game was initially released under the Japanese title Hyper Olympic in 1983 before re-releasing under the US title Track & Field in early 1984.

Players compete in a series of events, most involving alternately pressing two buttons as quickly as possible to make the onscreen character run faster. It has a horizontal side-scrolling format, depicting one or two tracks at a time, a large scoreboard that displays world records and current runs, 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. It was followed by sequels, including Hyper Sports, and similar Olympic video games from other companies. It led to a resurgence of arcade sports games and inspired Namco's side-scrolling platform game Pac-Land (1984).
