Description

Eleven Track 'N' Field style events are recreated in this joystick-waggling based game. Five are simple running events of different distances ranging from 100 meters to 1500 meters. Unlike Daley Thompson's Decathlon the longer events don't involve a different technique, or different performance measurements, making the 1500m quite tiring. There are also three throwing events (Javelin, Discus and Hammer), and the High / Long / Triple Jump events. Each event has a pre-defined world record to chase.

Help is accessed as menu option 8 Micro Olympics ZX Spectrum Event 3: Hammer This event is very similar to the discus. The player must follow a sequence at the right speed, then must release the hammer at the end of the characters spin Micro Olympics ZX Spectrum Event 1: Running The start of a race. The computer runs as white and the player as black. The countdown is the traditional Get, Set, Go! Micro Olympics ZX Spectrum Event 2: Discus The player must enter the assigned sequence at just the right speed to keep the concentration indicator central Micro Olympics ZX Spectrum Event 1: Running The first screen offers a selection of distances Micro Olympics ZX Spectrum Event 2: Discus Releasing the discus at the wrong time can have disastrous results.
