Track & Field II is a minigames collection released in 1988 for the Nintendo NES. The game centers around a variety of Olympic-style athletic events, challenging players to compete in disciplines such as running, jumping, and throwing. Each event requires quick reflexes and precise button presses to succeed.
The main objective is to accumulate the highest score across multiple track and field challenges, progressing through different stages of competition. The pace varies depending on the event, ranging from fast-paced sprints to more rhythm-based activities like the hammer throw. Success depends on timing and stamina management.
A unique mechanic in Track & Field II involves alternating button presses to simulate running speed, a control style that demands rapid finger movements. The game’s unusual idea lies in its diverse set of mini-competitions bundled into one title, offering a broad athletic experience rather than focusing on a single sport. Its distinctive aspect is the inclusion of lesser-known events like the pole vault and weightlifting, adding variety to the gameplay.
