- TRIVIA -

Hyper Olympic was released in October 1983 in Japan. It is known outside Japan as "Track & Field". For more information about the game, please see the "Track & Field" (non-Japanese version) entry.

Hyper Olympic is a resounding success, especially amongst real-life athletes who live to take out their aggression on animate or inanimate objects. The game inspires an all-new level of two-player competition in arcades.

- UPDATES -

The bootleg version features different speech, as the original sound hardware could not be totally hacked - the slightly different voices are allegedly those of the bootleggers themselves! Also, it contains a typo : the word HEIGHT replaces the original HIGHT.

60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 On the High Jump it's best to disable the Speed cheat and
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 use the Superman cheat. The Take steroids cheat is better
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 than the Full Speed cheat but you must be careful with it
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 incase you run off the pitch!
