Hi JOTD. This is one of my favorite games in mame. Like to see it on my Amiga. Just one question: Why there is only one round? The game ends after high jumping. The mame version is neverendig until you get out. Thanks for a short reply. Love the game and will buy also for amiga. Thanks dude. And sorry: Brutal awesome adaption. GREAT!!!!!!
Hi,
it's a dipswitch setting. You can have the same behaviour in MAME. I forced that but yes, I could put an option.
Nice port. "Track and Field" is also one of my favorite game-classics and it made alot of fun, to play it against friends, back then in the 80's. Nice that a Amiga version of this classic is available now (the C64 has this game since a long time, for the Amiga it was never released) and also nice, that it works on ECS/OCS Amigas too, even when the game runs not very well there (tested on real hardware). I already suspected, there could be speed-problems on normal A500 computers here and the game also seems to need 1MB Chipram and don't work with 512kb Chip and 512kb Slowram. But the game works good on AGA Amigas, I tested this in emulators and there it works good.
Hello, in my last issue of Retro News Flash, I covered the game Track&Field and ran a short report on it. It´s a really great game, and your port is incredible well done. All the best from Magisthan´s Spielekiste. 🙂
Thanks for the game! I have discovered a bug in 100m world record. If you get a time under the 10.00 seconds (e.g. 9.79) and you exit the game with f10, next time the world record is 4x.xx (in my example 49.79)
you're right. I had overlooked this. The next version will have this fixed.
Another great arcade conversion of one of the best sports games of the 80s. It's a shame that the 2-player mode only worked with the keyboard for us. The gameplay, however, is every bit as good as the original. Our German-language review can be found at 03:43:17. English subtitles are also available. 🙂
Thanks.
Awesome!
I've been waiting a long time for a good new sports game for the Amiga and now it's here, thank you. I've also included it in my new video along with other recently released games. I hope you like it.
JOTD, your work absolutely fabulous! I'm happy to play more and more of my favorite arcade games on my Amiga. :)
Very nice and clean conversion of one of the best arcade classics that leaves nothing to be desired, provided you use an A1200 or A4000. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 02:56:26. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
the game hangs in high jump event if you try to get the mole (2 fouls and 3 good jump)
works for me. I don't see the "nice + 1000 points" sprite (still an issue) but it does work.
For me doesn't work. I see the exit of the mole for one frame; the arrow in the screen continue to appear and disappear forever (it's a loop and not a freeze). If i press F1, the game continue. I have an amiga 1200 with blizzard 68030 50MHz and 128MB. With OCS 1.02 version no difference.
This is now fixed in latest version (1.04), thanks for reporting it.
I downloaded it, but it isn't working. Does it work for windows?
it works for windows on WinUAE the amiga emulator.
Waoooo... Really nice port Jodt.. you are amazing at these amiga ports. you really bring back memories from the old arcade.
Thanks mate
And thanks for making it work with Left right to run :)

I can't get the WHDLoad version to run on an A2000. Is it AGA only?
yes. But I'll try to create a OCS version
Thanks
1MB chip ECS version is available now
Thanks :) You're the best. Bought it now.
I hope you'll allow joysticks for player 2 soon. Without identical control methods, the competition isn't fair.
and done (from whdload with force option, or using 2 CD32 joypads using the buttons)
Thanks!
Ah... a classic competition pro killer :)
actually with a joypad it's playable and they'll probably last longer (because of button usage)
Nice one! Couldn't find any info, but it's only working on AGA machines.
there's a OCS version now.
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!
very good
Great game, thanks.
Awesome game!
You are a very bad person jotd666 (perhaps the 666 should have given it away) Not many people have a joystick that can handle the punishment these types of games require. Back in the day the old Atari joysticks wouldn't last long under the pressure and I should have been a millionaire with the amount I fixed. The good news is I have a Tac-2 that is perfect for this and zombie outbreaks.
On a serious note game looks great, well done.
you can destroy your keyboard instead :) The joypad mode allows the use of buttons, which is less destructive too.
very good
Awesome one of my all time arcade favourites. Quick couple of things...
1. On my A1200 (64 meg with 030) the WHD version hangs and gives garbage before the welcome screen.
2. The floppy version works :-) In the Javelin if you hold the fire button down to get near vertical angle to bring down the BIRD when the bird is hit (ie the javelin leaves the top of the screen) the game crashes.
I thought you'd like to know.
Great game. Look forward to news on potential fixes.
I have fixed the javelin easter egg part, thanks
Thanks very much. That bit was always fun.
Awesome, thanks for the new game!
