I get a 404 for the manual link

[JEFF31]

Anyone here get/have T&F 2?  I think Ed made 5 copies available back in the day...

I don't know why it does that, it comes up fine here when I use the link.

We are now playing Galaxian this round instead of Track & Field. No High Jump, no Hurdles, and no Javelin is a bit disappointing. I should have played it a bit more before posting it, my apologies. That would have been a waste of two weeks. I have added a day for this round. all scores will be accepted until Monday July 18th at normal times.

Just a heads-up to edit the original post bc the dates and times are duplicated and mixed up there.

[Northcoastgamer]

^Yes it's being a bit silly today it won't allow me to upload the Galaxian ROM either to add  as well. Until I can add the Galaxian ROM, it can be found at cvaddict.com if you need it. OK, correct times and ROM, phew.

Just double checking on the time. Usual is 8pm PST, but it says noon. Don't want anyone missing out ?

Woof, gettin' my butt whooped.

Noooo.......  I was quite excited to play T&F with my 2600 T&F controller that came with the game when I bought it.  Been hammering away on this for half an hour trying to get a semi-decent score before I came here.  Oh well, I can understand skipping it as the game is rather disappointing at only having four events and two of those are just running.  That said, the T&F 2 prototype that Opcode sold (only 5 copies) isn't much better as it also has only four events; 110 Metre Hurdles, High Jump, Javelin and 1500 Metres (i.e. the same as the MSX version it was ported from).  Still, I do think that T&F would still be a good high score competition game even if it is a bit limited in scope.

 

Regardless, I love Galaxian so I'm definitely not complaining ?

I was one of the lucky 5 to get T&F 2.  Was the ROM ever released?  If so make it a T&F 1 & 2!   That would be different.

Congrats on being one of the lucky 5 ?  As far as I'm aware the rom has not been publicly released.

One of the greatest arcade ports and a top 5 ColecoVision game.

Bringing home the arcade experience for sure!

Fair enough, we can give it a go next week for Round 16.
