Track And Field

[pw121073]

Found my old copy of ESPN Track and field from 2000 the other day for my 10 yr old son, so we whacked it on and commenced tapping away at the controler. It wasn't long before the world records were falling and I had forgot what a great game it was. It was very easy if you were just going to play the challenges but as soon as two players started the game took on a complete different feel. I thought about the possibilities on the PS3 there could be scores of events and with the online it would allow gamers to hold world records and challege in a sort of online olympics. I am not sure if Konami will ever release a new next gen version but just wondered if anone had heard anythig or whether anyone had any thoughts. If you have not played this it's a must with the game being a fiver in most used game stores

eazy now

Did you cheat by using a battery or golf ball?

My mates & I loved playing ESPN International Track & Field on the PS2. I was the daddy on every event.

[The Messiah]

I'm sure you would make a worthy opponent but i'll power through with my skills in Trap shooting & Rhythmic dance.

Played the game on PS1. My favourite event was the Weight Lifting and the Javelin Throw.

I used to be in the Track and Field team at school before. Was very tiring. I'm more of a sprinter. :laugh:

Just seen this thread. As well as pro evo we played this religiously at uni 4-way. The high Jump record was the most coveted.

 

[Charlie]

The 110 metre hurdles was my best event. Undefeated to this day.

 

[Dragonfly]

100m sprint was mine. I still remember my record, 6.42 seconds. :smug:

 

[Chuck Morris]

Athlete Kings on the Sega Saturn was the best Athletics games ever!
