Track & Field

Faithful port from the original arcade version that will have you in stitches while competing against your on or offline buddies.

Untainted by the passing of time, and still as mindlessly entertaining as it was back in the day. Sure, Hyper Sports improved on the formula a little, and Epyx went off and took the idea to dizzy heights not long after that, but in essence this is one of those few occasions when a game concept emerged fully formed from the beginning.

Like the 100 meter dash, it's fun while it lasts but is over too quickly.

For three quid, though, you could do a lot worse. [Issue#25, p.118]

Track & Field holds up fairly well and makes for some good, albeit short-term, fun.

Track and Field is a welcome, but almost unnecessary port of an arcade title. Like a fart in the wind, it invokes particular emotions in everyone when it arrives, good or bad, but is swiftly forgotten with barely a hint that it was there.

This limping Track & Field deserves no medals, let alone any of your Microsoft Points. [July 2007, p.81]
