Daley Thompson's Super Test, Developed and published by Ocean Software in 1985.
"Have you got the concentration for Pistol Shooting, the grace of a Springboard Diver, stamina for Cycling and Rowing or sheer muscle for the Tug O'War? Could you develop the speed and timing of Giant Slalom and Ski Jumping or the accuracy and pace of a center forward? Two full days of events in this giant sports extravaganza"
A follow up to 1984's Daley Thompson's Decathlon. This version of the game seems to go back and take the opening from 1984's Hyper Sports. After the title music we go into the first event. There are 8 events in total and like Hyper Sports, it has no ending and just loops for ever more or until all 4 lives are used up. It is strange that at least the Spectrum version does have an end. In testing I found that the Qualification requirements went up at least 7 times. After that each loop was the same.
The events in this game are Pistol Shooting (Which goes on way too long), Cycling, Diving, Slalom, Rowing, Penalties, Ski Jump and Tug O-War. In the longplay I show one full round of events and fail events in the second until all lives are lost. Back in the day, many joysticks lost their lives to these sports games. They are much easier on a modern d-pad as long as you have the stamina!
