Daley Thompson's Decathlon Reviews (Commodore 64)

Discuss Review + Want + Have Contribute

Das gesamte Geschehen ist mit viel Witz und einer unwahrscheinlichen Liebe zum Detail inszeniert, so daß es einem schwerfällt, den Joystick aus der Hand zu legen. Dies geschieht jedoch spätestens dann, wenn sich schmerzhaft die ersten Blasen an den betroffenen Fingern ankündigen, denn dieses Spiel geht zwar nicht in die Beine, jedoch enorm in die Handgelenke. Ein abwechslungsreiches Spiel, das nicht so schnell langweilig wird. Ein Bravo für Grafik und Animation!

If you are a dedicated Daley Thompson fan, wish to take part in athletic events by proxy or are extra keen on unorthodox joystick actions then arrange for a demo - don't buy on spec! After this program had given me a workout I was utterly sick of it.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A METAL joystick for this game or it will cost a lot of money in new ones. This is a good reproduction of the arcade athletics game except that there isn't any voice synthesis. In this game you have to compete the ten events in which Daley Thompson competed in the Olympics. (...) I did enjoy this game immensely but when I jumped or threw something, my man always fouled or fell over. It's worth playing but I do miss the voice at the beginning.

The graphics are very good, and the music entertaining. This is a very addictive game.
