Are there any decent athletics games on the Amiga?

Steve · 31 July 2003, 20:10

How many athletics, "track and field" type games are there on the Amiga. I tried searching for some in the HOL but only managed to bring up these two games:

Surely there must be more athletics games than this? Is it?

It's a shame Olympic Gold didn't get converted to the Amiga as I quite liked that game.

There is also:

The Games Summer Edition
Summer Games
Summer Games II

Are you specifically looking for athletics games? The Amiga had many 'multi-event' games, but not all were Olympic-type sports.

Also:

Espana: The Games '92
The Aquatic Games

Ah, nice.

The Summer Games II looks like it could be quite good. Yes I'm only looking for track and field athletics games.

@ Aquatic Games

What do you people think is the best "track and field" Amiga game?

To be quite honest, I think Aquatic Games is the best olympic game for the Amiga, followed by Summer Games.

I think you shouldn't put Summer Games and Summer Games 2 as two separate games, as on Amiga both games were distributed together, and there was even an option to play both games at the same time (All events of Summer Games 1 plus all events of Summer Games 2 in the same tournament. )

I personally only discovered that Summer Games 2 indeed was *2* when I booted disk 2 for mistake, thinking it was disk 1. Then it showed "Summer Games II" , or else I would always think it was just one game with 2 disks.

Hyper Sports on the C64 and Arcade is excellent fun. As is the superb C64 athletics game "Track and Field". They're great fun, especially in two player mode. An Amiga version of Hyper Sports would have been great! Alas, I will have to write the thing myself.

Sorry, I was fishing fro fight games - Kickboxing not athletic enough?

Yay, Panza!

Must be honest, I tried a few of the run, jump, bash the buttons realy quick stuff, and just never got one that hooked me.

I once did the 100 metres in under eight seconds in Daley Thompson's Decathlon (Spectrum).

alkis21 · 24 August 2003, 01:33
