Are you looking for help with AGD, or are you intending the game to be written in assembly and looking for help with that?

I am not coder and I do not know assembler. So if you want to work like that I can only provide the grafix. I know AGD to some extent so in case you want to use it I can be of much more help. Another possibility could be to redo the grafix of the original game, maybe?

reminds me somewhat of the rather obscure arcade game Hunchback Olympic.

Man, this looks great.
I've always loved the graphics in your games, this is just another proof, how talented you are.
I hope there is a chance this will become a game in the future as it has the potential to become a big hit.

Thanks.. I was wondering if it possible just to change the gfx of the original game (Daley Thompson or similar..)?

This looks really good. There was a Daley Thompson update a couple of months ago, but it was mostly bug fixes and making it a single load.

However, it would be great to see a new "Daley Thompson's Decathlon" game, especially if it could take advantage of the 128k AY chip.

Maybe someone could do a version of this

Which it turned out was actually just ripped from this!

EDIT: Turns out someone has done it on the Spectrum Next, but it requires 3 AY chips!

Great to see you here Gab. Amazing graphics (and presumably design) as usual. If you ever decide to learn ASM or C then you will be a very dangerous man!

I know AGD to some extent

Come now! Don't be shy!

Wow got almost no reaction at the Wos... And look how much feedback I got here!

Learning C or ASM?... I am too old for that!

with the current WoS staff qualities and policies it's surprising somebody is still reacting outside the chit chat section
