Wan1993 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Foul! 😀 I remember playing the Nes version with my dad when I was a kid. I had never played the original arcade version and I don't know how to jump correctly here. Any tips? 🚦 4360 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly You've been away too long. It must be the good weather in California that's all year round. Even in winter it's great there. Day 1 of 24 ... The track meet so far, the early morning heats ...

Ace1942 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 66420 No. 1 score was practice from save states so doesn’t count. Need to work my button mashing technique if I’m going to drive this score higher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never played the original arcade version and I don't know how to jump correctly here. Any tips? 🚦 4360 That image you posted is either the PlayChoice version or the NES version. We are playing on the original arcade version for this event. For best results on long jump you want a 42 degree angle. 80 degrees means you held the jump button too long. Release sooner for a lower angle. You also get a speed/distance boost if you jump off of the white line. Faster running and correct angle are the most important things. Happy jumping! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 26,040 I had a different problem with the long jump. I thought buttons 1 and 2 were 'run' and you had to mash them both. So my dude would always jump way too early and not even get to the landing pit 😵 But now I know button 2 is JUMP/ACTION (pic of control panel at www.twingalaxies.com/feed_details.php/6151/the-man-who-helped-change-tetris-by-playing-track-field/25 ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandontheRun Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I remember when this and Hyper Sports came out. This was way before Street Fighter and other 2 players at a time was a thing. Very popular game and along with Warlords- one of the few I would love to have in a tabletop. When out of quarters, I would head home to play Summer Games and HESGames on the Commodore 64. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally we had an athletics game with excellent graphics, a terrific game engine, great controls, and a lot of fun. There were many tournaments held for this game, in the 80s, and much later. Someone was there for the much later. Maybe he can tell us what it was like, his scores, and who won? ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estamos jogando na versão arcade original para este evento. Para obter melhores resultados no salto em distância, você deseja um ângulo de 42 graus. 80 graus significa que você segurou o botão de pular por muito tempo. Solte mais cedo para um ângulo mais baixo. Você também obtém um aumento de velocidade / distância se pular da linha branca. Corrida mais rápida e ângulo correto são as coisas mais importantes. Salto feliz! Thank you for the tips! I played the play choice version without realizing it. I will play the correct version now. I found it strange so many game options. lol 18 hours ago, Ace1942 said: Hi Wan, this might help you out https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/118849-Track-N-Field-Question Thanks for the tip!

When I was at the arcades when this game was released, I had to ask the tech guy to fix the buttons every so often. The gamers made such a racket with those plastic tools, you could hear them all over the arcade, and ruined the buttons. And sometimes the tech guy said it's fixed, and they weren't ... 🤦♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arcade version had the best graphics and game engine from the 70s, till maybe the end of the 80s. When I saw the Atari consoles and all the rest like them, I couldn't play them, especially with the arcade bringing out new high tech titles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
