Track & Field II brings the intense competition of the Olympics straight to the NES. Developed by Konami, this classic sports compilation expands on the original hit with a wider variety of events, including fencing, taekwondo, canoeing, and clay pigeon shooting. Players must master both rapid stamina-building and precise timing to take home the gold across its challenging athletic trials.
How to Play
In most events, your primary goal is to build up speed or power before executing a perfectly timed action. You can play directly in your browser using the standard NES controls:
- Movement / Aim: Arrow Keys
- A Button (Action/Speed): Z key
- B Button (Action/Speed): X key
- Start: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips for Going for Gold
- The Rubbing Technique: For events that require pure speed (like swimming or running), try rubbing a smooth object rapidly back and forth across the action buttons to maximize your power meter.
- Timing is Everything: In precision events like the hammer throw or pole vault, wait until the optimal angle is reached before releasing or jumping to get maximum distance.
- Study the Opponent: In combat events like fencing or taekwondo, defensive play and counter-attacks often yield better results than aggressive button mashing.
