Play Athletic World (Europe) Online
Stomp the Power Pad to sprint and jump in goofy track events—your knees will hate you, but nailing that perfect hurdle timing feels weirdly satisfying. Faceplanting never gets old.
Game Overview
Remember that big, floppy Power Pad mat you'd stomp on for NES games? Athletic World was one of the first to use it—basically a track-and-field simulator where you actually had to run in place or jump to make your character move. It sounds ridiculous now, but back then, it felt like the future.
You'd pick from events like hurdles or long jump, then immediately regret your life choices as your knees started aching from all the hopping. The timing was weirdly precise—if you mistimed a jump, your poor athlete would faceplant spectacularly. My shins still remember the 100-meter dash.
It wasn't the deepest game, but for a few sweaty minutes, you really did feel like an Olympic hopeful. Or at least like someone who needed better cardio.
