Ikrananka Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) I'm exhausted. The hammer throw is still my weak spot as you can see from the 3 fouls in the screenshot. And that's after getting a throw of 95m 48 in an earlier round!! 191,790 Edited July 23, 2022 by Ikrananka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just tried another 6/7 times on my emulator... nope. Really frustrating. Thought that the phoenix would work - but NOPE . (And don't get me wrong but this piece of hardware had been an EXTREME disappointment to me. A $300 piece of plastic with chips) Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 50.520 Finally got the Hammer Throw! Missed the 2nd 100 Meter Dash by .05 seconds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Tried a few last times and finally started to get the hammer throw timing better. On the third round of hammer throwing I managed three successful throws over 95m. But when it came down to it for the fourth time I just didn't quite make the same distance as shown in the screenshot. So frustrating!!!!! 267,820 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I wasn't racing to try out this one, since I didn't have high expectations for using a DualShock 3. Love the game on NES, and this one looks well done. One and done for me here, since I felt like I gave my left analogue stick a rough time, and I don't want to send it to controller heaven. 3 fouls on Hammer Throw. Surprised I made it this far actually... 8,580 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Track & Field along with Decathlon are not everyone's cup of tea. Most people give up on these games early on due to the physicality and/or the abuse that can be inflicted upon controllers. It's a good port and it was fun playing but no Javelin, Hurdles or High Jump. No entering your initials for high scores. The 2600 version has them.

DuggerVideoGames Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 19,320 pts. Not a bad game, but it's hell on the controller and it was difficult enough to qualify in anything with it. Haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Our friend from the great white north, Ikrananka proves to be our top athlete this round with a very impressive record setting score. Well done! I bet your sore today. Thanks to everyone that partook in this joystick slugfest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a real shame that T&F and T&F2 weren't combined into one game when they were ported to the CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, you are correct, I am still sore today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
