Are you ready for some exciting news? As I browsed through the EAB forums, I discovered that JOTD is currently developing the Arcade-to-Amiga port of the classic button-mashing game, ‘Track & Field,’ originally by Centuri/Konami. According to one forum user, this title is “going to be a huge hit in the Amiga community” and is considered “an absolute gem, rivaling Hyper Sports in terms of addictiveness!”
While details are scarce and no download is available yet, here’s some background on the game from Wikipedia: “Players take part in various events, primarily by alternately pressing two buttons rapidly to make their character sprint faster. The game features a side-scrolling format, showcasing one or two tracks at a time, a large scoreboard for world records and current attempts, and a lively audience in the background. It was immensely popular in arcades, becoming one of the top games of 1984.”
That’s all we have for now, so stay tuned for updates!
