Product Description

Times have changed, but looking at the Wii, Nintendo were always headed in that direction. I remember the commercials when the Power-pad came out and this was the game that was mostly used to advertise the then 'new' accessory. They had aerobics games and right here, you even had a running game. The game is as advertised - track & field. Going off of memory, but you have a series of events that you can go through in a sort of mini-Olympiad. You have a 100 meter dash, high hurdles, long jump and I think there was even the triple-jump as well. The characters that you run against ranged from a slower guy (aptly named "Turtle") and the fastest was I think named "Cheetah". You could also run against your friends on this too. This was released back in the mid-late 1980's, and though you could get the accessory separately there was a Nintendo '3' pack that I think had Track & Field, the gun with duckhunt and Super Mario brothers. While the game was ok, getting to a level to be able to beat the fastest runners proved very difficult to do and some events like the triple-jump were tricky to figure out. Still, for nostalgia's sake, it was a fun game and looking at the exercise aspect, Nintendo was way ahead of the game (no pun intended). I do have one spoiler - so look away if you don't want to know this quasi-cheat... I remember some kids messing around with this and just hitting the pads very quickly with their fists to get the sprinters to run faster. :)
