Cheats, Tricks and BugsTRICKS:Javelin: Throw the javelin off the top of the screen to bring down a bird for a 1000 bonus. High Jump: Fail the first two jumps and then clear it. A mole burrows up for a 1000 bonus. Long jump: Three jumps with same result will get a (can't remember what) to scroll from right to left and award a 1000 bonus. 100m dash: same time for player one and two will award a 1000 bonus. BUG: In Javelin, throwing over 100m will cause a counter wraparound, so a 100m12 throw will be logged as 0m12 (and will not qualify you)! Game IntroductionCompete in Olympic events. You must qualify in each event to move onto the next. Hit the two run buttons to build up speed and use action button to jump or throw. The events are:
Game PlayWhen you alternate tapping the run buttons (Run 1, Run 2, Run 1, Run 2 ...), you will get a much better speed increase. You have three attempts to qualify on all but the two running events.MiscellaneousCOPY OF: Track & FieldScarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Common - There are 36 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
