Track and field 20p challenge
4Welcome to another 20p challenge, this time it's Konami's Track and Field.
Released in 1983, this game when released on home computers was considered the most destructive of games, apparently destroying countless joysticks that have got waggled to death by frantic players trying to beat the previous records :)
Now for a bit of context, sports games of this era, especially athletic type games, required the play to either press two buttons or waggle a joystick as fast as they can, to replicate the movements of their athlete's limbs, requiring the stamina of a raging bull to sometimes get any kind of decent score from your pixelated little man. And for the time and especially on the home computers, this was definitely a game the brought the competitive families together, to see who can outdo the other.
Now Track and Field have you running, long jump Javelin to name a few( Because I could not get any further!) and it is tough, gone have my cat-like reflexes and stamina and there's no way of continuing so a real toughy unless you dedicate a bit of time to actually get good at it.
Still fun but still tough :)
Anyway, hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching :)
