ESPN Track And Field - Dreamcast

Get ready sporting fans, its athletic time and you’re invited. Don’t worry you don’t have to leave your own living room. Get your fingers limbered up, you’ll regret not stretching afterwards. Konami are bringing International Track and Field home on the Dreamcast.

There are twelve events for you to practice and master. These include 100-metre sprint, 110 metre hurdles, Javelin, Weightlifting, Pole Vault, Clay pigeon shoot, Horizontal bar and the Long Jump.
International Track and Field has a great structure. Not all events are open to you the first time that you play. If you manage to win a bronze in these first eight events you will open up the High Jump and the Triple Jump. Then if you manage to win silver in all the aforementioned events you will open up the Vault, and if you then win all gold you are rewarded with trap shooting.

The way that you play each event is different but there is a tutorial before each stage of competition that explains what you have to do. This is a game of quick fingers; generally the faster you tap the buttons the more power you have in each event. You must then carefully time the action button to perform the correct action at the right time. This game takes a lot of time to master, but you’ll enjoy practicing, especially when there is a few people around to share the competition.

Do have what it takes to be a winner? There is only one way to find out.
