Final Score Update

[Northcoastgamer]

Let's give it a whirl for a week and see what happens after all........

Sorry, I'm sitting this one out. It's a joystick destroyer and I can't even qualify in the first event.

[testa]

If you have the track and field controller it works well

[Northcoastgamer]

49,620. Couldn't quite crack the 12:00 qualifying mark in the 100m Dash in the 2nd round. My best so far has been 12:05. That was achieved with the Track & Field controller. I've had an 8m 05 for the long jump. The optimal angle it seems for that is around 45 degrees. The hammer throw isn't too difficult, I've had a 95m25. Toss after 6 spins then get the angle to 41 degrees for the best result it seems. I might try a Slik Stik joystick just for the 100m Dash then switch to the T&F controller for the other events.

97,300. Used a joystick for this score. Had a 10:75 in the 100m Dash and an 8m61 in the Long Jump. For the 3rd round 11:00 is the qualifying time for the 100m Dash. My arm was toast by then and couldn't crack 11:00. Need to work on stamina, just like the 2600 version.

 

 

[jblenkle]

Gave it five more tries last night with my Amiga PowerStick controller. Still can't qualify in the 100. Closest I came was 15.3.

[Northcoastgamer]

102,890. Had a 9:95 in the 100m dash and a 9m06 in the Long Jump during the first round. I used a stock Coleco controller too.

 

 

[Northcoastgamer]

146,600. Ran a 9:62 100m Dash and had a 9m17 for the Long Jump. The qualifying time for the 400m in the 3rd round is 40:00, gonna be tuff, by then the arm is toast. I've been using a stock Coleco controller for the 100m Dash and the Long Jump, then switch to the T&F controller for the Hammer Throw and 400m run, then back etc. etc.. Trying to see if the game continues after the 3rd round.

My screen went nuts but you can still see the score 49800

[JEFF31]

Tried this on my emulator and could not come close to the time needed to advance... 

 

So I tried the supplied rom on my phoenix and the game locks up after 1 or 2 seconds of the races start.

 

I DO like this game and could set up my coleco and dig out the cart... etc etc etc...  - maybe I will

 

But for now I tried - score 0

Using a joystick now. Just can't get the hammer throw down.

 

[JEFF31]

Somehow on the emulator I got by event 1 then failed at 2 but at least not 0.

Just wait until you get to the hammer throw which I'm finding brutally difficult to qualify.

Good score, nice job!

[Northcoastgamer]

The Hammer Throw is probably the easiest event. Count to six revolutions, time your release and slightly hold the button ever so briefly before releasing so the angle is 41--42 degrees. My best so far is 96m09. To qualify for the 3rd round its 95m. It's just timing and practice.

Getting closer to qualifying on the Hammer Throw, but not there yet.

[Northcoastgamer]

^You are getting there, keep at it!

Finally gave up on the 2600 T&F controller and used my Edladdin Super Arcade Controller.  What a difference that makes!!  Although I still suck at the hammer throw and only had one successful throw out of three.  Need more practice.
