Track & Field was a lost opportunity to make a great conversion. The arcade version was even more popular in the arcade saloons than its sequel Hypersports.

Just a game in the style of the Daley Thompsons games or the superb Joffa's Hypersports.

Yes, this one! I even checked him at ZxArt but these screens are missing there.

Is it that bad? The graphics are autoconverted mess but the gameplay seemed fluent and all right for me, if I remember correctly.
