Well, I've been waiting almost 20 years to get my first video game back. There he is! Konmai Hyper Olympic 1. Released in 1984, it was the game delivered with my beautiful VG-8010 from Philips for my thirteenth birthday.
Unforgettable moments
All good moments spent with this game using the keys of my computer. A joystick will take over, much more convenient than the tiny directional keys on the Philips keyboard.
For the very presentation of the game, Hyper Olympic 1 or Track & Field 1 is a multi-disciplinary sports simulation presented as the MSX1 ROM cartridge. Unlike Hyper Sport (another series of 3 games on MSX also published at KonamiThis is all about Olympic disciplines. Note that graphics will be through all versions rigorously the same.
On your marks!
In this first milling of Hyper Olympic, you will therefore measure yourself to a friend or computer (not simple the CPU !) on four disciplines that are the 100 meters, the long jump, the hammer throw and the 400 meters. All these tests require true dexterity, or rather, clearly, perfect synchronization in your actions. Except for both races or in this case, you will have to heat the sliders by pressing as quickly as possible! My fingers have often smoked in whole evenings trying to beat the Olympic records!!

Oh, the cramp!
If the first round of the four disciplines is not very complex and is qualified is relatively easy, then the second round is very difficult because it is necessary for each event to improve because qualifying times decrease. Good luck! In such cases and if you do not want to destroy your keyboard or joysticks, the device named Hyper Shot from Konami is perfect for the game (normal you will tell me, it is made for). It is a case with two large, robust buttons ideal to give you a hearty look. Hours of happiness and cramps!
