Play Hyper Sports Online

Hyper Sports, released by Konami in 1984 and playable today through MAME, is a sequel to the earlier arcade hit Track & Field. It arrived during a period when arcades were packed with competitive sports games, often requiring specialized controllers or rapid, repeated inputs. This title expanded the Olympic theme into a wider range of events, pushing the limits of both player endurance and the arcade cabinet's buttons.

You control an athlete competing across seven different events, including swimming, skeet shooting, and the triple jump. The main objective is to achieve the highest possible score in each event to qualify for the next round. Signature mechanics involve intensely rapid button mashing to build speed or power, combined with precisely timed action commands to execute a jump or take a shot. The pacing is relentlessly demanding, and the difficulty escalates quickly, especially in later stages. Success hinges entirely on physical stamina and split second accuracy, making each victory feel genuinely earned through effort.
