Play Track & Field 2 (E) Online

Track & Field II came out for the NES in 1988, developed and published by Konami. It was part of that wave of sports games that tried to capture the excitement of the Olympics, a common theme on the system at the time. This one expanded on the original with more events and a different structure.

You control an athlete competing in a series of Olympic events, including the 100m dash, long jump, and archery. The main objective is to beat the qualifying times and scores to advance and ultimately win gold medals. Signature mechanics include the frantic button mashing for running events to build speed, and the precise timing needed for the field events like launching the javelin. The game can be brutally difficult, demanding perfect rhythm and quick reflexes across its varied challenges. It feels like a relentless test of your endurance and coordination as much as your athlete's.
