About

Hyper Olympic has been a resounding success, thanks in particular to its innovative control mode which tested the dexterity of the players. The game was also the precursor of a series of similar titles, including its direct sequel, Hyper Sports, released in 1984. An interesting anecdote: in 1984 Konami and Centuri organised an international competition on Track & Field, attracting more than a million participants, making it one of the biggest video game tournaments of the time.
