DECATHLON
Activision, £9.99 cass, £19.99
disk, joystick only

Although
no true arcade Track and Field exists for the
64, there are some derivatives of this game which in
a way improve upon the original theme.
Activision's
Decathlon is probably the one most like the original
arcade game. This is definitely a 'raw power' game --
the essence is on the speed you move the joystick left
and right. The faster you do, the better you will score
in the 10 decathlon events, although some of the throwing
and jumping events also require timing skills.
The
graphics and sound are certainly far better than on
Daley Thompson's Decathlon, although not as good
as the more expensive versions from Epyx and Hesware.
