Track & Field (Nintendo NES, 1987)

Track & Field puts you into the boots of a world class athlete, as you go through several summer events. High jump, long jump, 100m dash, 110m hurdles, pole vault, and hammer throw are some of the events that you will have to master. Each one takes timing and speedy button pressing and if you lack either, you can kiss the gold medal good-bye. The game can also be played against a friend. In some events, your turns will be alternating, but in others it will be a head-to-head split screen battle to decide who is the true champion.
