In 1984, Activision brought the thrill of the decathlon to the Commodore 64 with The Activision Decathlon, designed by David Crane. This game challenges you to compete in ten track and field events, testing your speed, strength, and endurance.

You'll sprint through the 100-meter dash, leap in the long jump, hurl the shot put, clear the high jump bar, race the 400 meters, hurdle over 110 meters, throw the discus, vault over the pole, launch the javelin, and endure the 1500-meter race. Each event requires rapid joystick movements and precise timing to achieve your best performance. The game's design emphasizes rhythm and coordination, offering a unique challenge for each discipline.

The Commodore 64 version stands out with its smooth animations and vibrant graphics, capturing the essence of each athletic event. The sound effects, including cheers and fanfares, enhance the immersive experience. Achieving high scores can earn you Activision Decathlon Club patches, adding a layer of achievement to your efforts.

The Activision Decathlon is celebrated as a classic in the sports genre, remembered for its innovative gameplay and lasting impact on retro gaming enthusiasts.
