Descpription:
Hyper Sports is a video game published in 1984.
It is the sequel to Konami's Track & Field and features
seven all-new Olympic events. Like its predecessor, Hyper
Sports featured two run buttons and one action button per player.
This game is also known as Hyper Olympic '84 outside North America.
While not quite achieving the commercial and critical success
of Track and Field, Hyper Sports still proved to be very popular
among gamers and, like its prequel, really came into its own
as a highly addictive multi-player experience.
The gameplay was much the same as Track & Field in that the player
competes in an event and tries to score the most points based on
performance criteria, and also by beating the computer entrants
in that event. Also, the player tries to exceed a qualification time,
distance or score in order to advance to the next event.
In Hyper Sports, if all of the events were passed
successfully, the player advances to the next round
of the same events which are faster and harder to qualify for.
