DecAthlete for the Sega Saturn, developed by Sega and released in 1996. Also known as Athlete Kings in Europe.

Not much to say about this one. Its very similar to Konami's Track & Field games however this is presented in much the same way as other arcade games by Sega Am2. It is also very highly detailed running in full resolution 60 fps interlaced mode making it what of the best looking and moving games on the Saturn.

All joystick waggling, joypad bashing sport games have a high degree of difficulty, mostly to test your stamina. But a couple of events here I found really challenging like the Pole Vault and High Jump which require multiple steps to get upto speed, jump and then manoeuvre over the bar. After completing the game I checked to see if a hidden character unlocked (i think I met the score requirement) but I guess that is only in the Japanese release.
