Play International Track & Field S Online

Konami released International Track & Field S for the Game Boy Color in 1999, a time when handheld sports games were often simple and direct. It was part of a wave of portable adaptations that tried to capture the energy of arcade and console titles, fitting a surprising amount of action onto a small screen.

You control an athlete competing in a series of Olympic style events, with the main objective being to win medals by outperforming computer opponents or a friend in two player mode. Signature mechanics include rapidly tapping buttons to build speed for sprints, carefully timing a button release for maximum power in the javelin throw, and executing precise sequences for the long jump approach. The pacing is quick, event to event, and the difficulty can be steep, demanding both speed and rhythm. It feels like a genuine test of your reflexes and coordination, often leaving your hands tired but satisfied.
