Description

One to four players compete against each other in six track and field events in this legendary, genre creating and much-copied game from Konami. Track and Field consisted of two run buttons per player (one for each 'leg' of the athlete) and one action button. Only two players could compete simultaneously so on three and four-player games, players had to wait their turn. An extra life is awarded for every 100, 000 points acquired. Each player must qualify in the current event before they can move on to the next. Hit the two run buttons to build up speed and use action button to jump or throw.

Track and Field proved to be incredibly successful for Konami, and would spawn countless imitations - particularly on the 8-bit home systems of the time - as well as three sequels of its own. One of the undoubted reasons for its success was the superb multi-player game, which, for perhaps the first time in the video arcade, introduced a genuine sense of rivalry among players and showed the gaming world what was truly possible with multi-player gaming.
