At the weekend I popped down to Cambridge to visit some Uni friends who have just started a teacher training course armed with a secret party video game weapon....
International Track and Field 2000 for the trusty N64.
This game really is immense when four players are on board. Many hours were wasted bashing and thrashing the unusally shaped N64 pads, finding yet more unique positions or hand movements to shave the 100 m record down a few hundreths of a second, gain an extra coup[le of cm's on the pole vault or land splendidly with a near perfect 9.96 in the gymnasium.
It's such a competitive game with eight events on the championship mode and absolutley tons of unique contests that really anyone can play and pick up on. I even noticed it got a mention in the top ten issue of Edge for multiplayer delights this month. I haven't had as much fun in a long time from a multiplayer session which got me thinking to other less well known games that may be pretty average in single player but killer in multi. I know it's not really a super hardcore import japoroma topic but I thought I would tell you all how great it was.
To see if anyone has the game and can beat these records/times these are some of the satnd out highlights from the weekend button bashing.
100m 9.54 sec
High Jump 2.53m
Long jump 9.06m
100m Breast 1.00.27 sec
Weightlifting 275kg
Vault 9.96
Triple Jump 8.50 m
We sucked at Trap shooting and the Hurdles however. I've just found out the Playstaion version has different events like Cycling, Diving, Rowing and bloody Rythmic Gymnastics!!!
*Goes to trawl the web for more "Track and Field" genre games*
