I THINK my friend rented this game once, but I don't remember playing it much. What I remember most about it was it got a front page feature in one of the first Nintendo Power magazines, and I remember the graphics looking pretty good for the time.
I never got into Track & Field games very much, except at a summer band camp we all stayed in college dorms that were empty for the summer, and the dorm lobby had arcade games and Track & Field was one of them. That's where I learned all the secrets in the game!
I did get International Track & Field on the DS, because there was a bunch of playable Konami characters in it. Like Frogger and even one of the ladies from Rumble Roses! But the game wasn't very good and I don't recommend getting it unless you want to tear up your DS. The game was brutal on the touch screen!
