Personal review

For Hyper Olympic, Konami took four track&field disciplines (100m dash, long jump, 110m hurdles and javelin throw) from the arcade version and put them on this Famicom cartridge (a few months later they would eventually release four more events as Hyper Sports and a US release with all eight events on the same catridge as Track & Field). The game is a good example of a varied and well playable multi-sport events game. Good controls with a mixture of button smashing and right timing, as well as a high motiviation to break your own records make this game worth to play.

Editor note

the JAN code 4 988602 502190 is used in numerous outlets to refer to both ハイパーオリンピック (Hyper Olympic) and ハイパーオリンピック 限定版! (Hyper Olympic Gentaiban! ). Hyper Olympic is 4 events based on Konami's Arcade game of the same name. It seems appropriate to note here that Hyper Olympic's PCB has no chips, just 2 'gloptops'. Which is often a sign of fast and sloppy manufacture. Hyper Olympic Gentaiban! has all eight events and is the same game as Track and Field. There's a bit of tech difference also. Gloptop Hyper Olympic uses no memory mapper while the aditional data of the Gentaiban edition reires the use of a mapper.
