OOO Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hi everyone, just posting this again to be sure. I remember at the arcades in the 80s, gamers used to bring hard plastic coin holders, and then move them crazily over the buttons for more speed. It destroyed the buttons and ruined the game for others. Tool usage of any kind to assist in game control is not permitted. Only fingers on buttons are allowed. The buttons must be used for running, not the joystick. No mouse, no gloves and no joystick can be used for running. Please note the After Last Event Setting is Game Over. 😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the Bic lighter, they used that on T&F and Hypersports in the arcades as well. And even further back than the 80s ...

JustAnotherRat Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think this game was in the last MGL I participated in. Always loved playing this, not sure if I'll find time for a game but I'll try. I just checked... it was Hyper Olympics last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest that maybe you should enjoy life more, and do what you love. That includes playing this game right now ... LOL. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMacauley Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 63,950 Too old, too slow. Getting this one out of the way 1st off. May come back to it later but without a joystick to waggle on this game I'm screwed. For those who care about stats: 100M: 10.64 Long Jump: 7.45 Javelin: 73.82 110M Hurdles: 13.87 (way to slow) Hammer Throw: 95.43 (the only halfway decent event in this run) High Jump: 2.42 Not much to see here really 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But come on, too old too slow? Since when? How'd you beat so many of your old TG scores recently, with better scores? More like the older you get, the better (and wiser you get).

Yes you are wise guy Robert ... 😆 Since the fingers stopped moving as fast as they used to. That's when. 😁 Some of those old TG scores were a lot easier to beat than others. Then there's some that I've been grinding away at for weeks now on and off with no success. I'll keep at it with them when I can and the same applies with this game. For what it's worth I've got an 80K+ score over there from an old MAME Decathlon that needs to be beaten. Older but wiser? In my case sometimes it's more like Older Budweiser 🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
