If you haven't broken your joystick just yet, with this latest release that is very possible! As after releasing the joystick and button bashing game called Track'N'Field, JOTD has now made available the first downloadable version of Konami's arcade Olympic themed sports game called 'Hyper Sports'. A transcode and amiga port with graphics & sound conversion by JOTD and soon with music by no9. To coincide with this news, we've got a few screenshots and gameplay footage provided below.
According to the wikipedia page "The gameplay is 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 to advance to the next event. In Hyper Sports, if all of the events are passed successfully, the player advances to the next round of the same events which are faster and harder to qualify for. These events include swimming, skeet shooting, long horse, archery, triple jump, weight lifting and pole vault."

Great stuff, I played the MSX version of it, a lot!
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks MUCH faster than the file I saw the other day. Looking good!!
ReplyDeleteJust a precision: in the video you're hearing the music from Track'N'Field which acts as stand-in music while no9 is doing the actual music. It's also a no9 creation and doesn't sound too bad in the meantime.
