My god, I haven't seen this game in decades, but my mind began to follow the music automatically as soon as the game began. It was a really impressive game for the NES. Such a variety of graphics and game dynamics
Yeah, this was such a great game for the time. If you like this type of game in a 2D retro style, you'll probably like the new game ' Medal winners 24' on Steam. Also Capcom's gold medal challenge '92 was good.
Konami's followup to the smash hit Track & Field recaptures the same bleeding thumb magic, only now with more events and with graphics now verging on 16-bit quality. We might not get the Olympics this year, but we'll always have Track & Field!
lol this description I thought it was a recent remaster, thanks for the time machine :) I like clay pigeon shooting in this and retro 1964 for mario and sonic tokyo 2020. 2:55 loved that triple jump music, makes me want to do some runs, well at home anyway.
I owned and play the heck out of this as a kid. Some events I just could never seem to get down, but sure didn't stop me from playing! A Konami classic.
This game was so hard without a tutorial, I didn't know what to do for diving and many other disciplines, all I heard was "disqualified" all the time lol. Arm wrestling was the only thing I could enjoy without sucking.
This is one of the best games ever created I used to play this about 30 years ago with my cousin and brother...it was golden era of Konami and I hope they modernize and make this game again which will be a high demanding game... time flies 😢
One of my all-time favourite NES games in my happy childhood years, but that "Hammer throw" event is terribly hard to qualify even using turbo controller!! Damn it!!!
Found a copy of this game in the box complete for 5 or 10 bucks at the game store I used to frequent years ago. Always was hilarious the expression of the characters in the arm wrestling segment.
The graphics were great on this. Exciting intro, made it feel like olympics. used the speed button on triple jump and had to turn it off before i jumped to jump correctly...I also forgot how many levels there are.
I loved this game as a kid. For Taekwondo I used to do the 180 kick and if you get your timing right, it takes away about half of the opponent's energy. Two of those kicks and the opponent is done. Getting the timing though felt as good as as fatality in MK though
5:14 performance enhancing drugs. Impossible comeback. 10:50 shooting stage, the shooter is right handed when he shoots clay to the right and becomes left handed (11:09) when shooting clays to the left. 14:12 Wow, killing people was sanctioned as a track and field event. 17:00 same sounds from Bayou Billy!
Of the hundreds of times I have played this game as a kid, I never knew about the “Gun Firing” level until now. That level definitely seemed like the precursor to “Lethal Enforcers”. 😊
0:50 Welcome to Konami Airlines. Just make sure Konami has your permission to star in a Nintendo game first before you fly with us. Thank you for flying with Konami Airlines and have a nice day.
My parents bought this for me of a street dealer and I use to play countless hours of it. The karate was my favorite due to bloodsport having a similar game. And the fencing Was amazing
I remember renting this from Erol's back in '89 and just being stunned at both the sheer number of events offered and the high level of graphics and sound. I remember reading about it in "Nintendo Power" and wanting to purchase it at "Toys r' Us" but it was hard to get a hold of.
I remember that I had a Karate Championship game for my old Apple IIc that was almost exactly like the Taekwondo event, in this game. Except one hit brought down either you or your opponent, and you progressed by winning enough matches to go up a belt. You couldn't "beat" the game. Once you reached Black Belt, your matches with CPU opponents became progressively more difficult until you were finally defeated.
believe it or not track & field II was not only my first track & field game that i have ever played and owned on the nes back in 1989 when i was i think 3 years old maybe 4 now im 34 years old but it was also my first konami game that i have ever played and owned and what a game to start with and the rest is history which in other words it hold the most nestalgic value to me which we all know by now that konami back in the day was king so the more we forgot and not talk about konami today for my given sake and for others the better but my point being is that this is probubly the most nestagic konami game that i know and played and its a shame it got overlooked because there's alot to like about this game that has that good ole old-school nes konami magic and out of all the track & field games that im aware of track & field will always be my favorite track & field game in the series to me and will always be one of my favorite konami games on the nes to me even though im not the biggiest sports fan nor the biggiest olympics fan but this game is the exception along with blades of steel, double dribble,tecmo bowl,tecmo super bowl,tecmo bad news baseball,nintendo world cup a.k.a nekketsu high school dodgeball club:soccer,ice hockey and base wars of course
TF2 was so much an improvement over TF1, especially the soundtracks were dramatically better. I can hear very familiar and similar sounds and effects of the later games like Turtles 1 and 3 (Manhattan Project) and marked their typical Konami sounds. They carried them in some way also over the the early days of the SNES. When Konami was Konami...

Indeed. The game's rendition of the word "Foul" amused me so much that's what goes through my head when I see a foul ball in baseball.
@@SamtheBravesFan it's really incredible, all the precision
Fowel.
Yeah, this was such a great game for the time. If you like this type of game in a 2D retro style, you'll probably like the new game ' Medal winners 24' on Steam. Also Capcom's gold medal challenge '92 was good.
It's one of the few games to present higher uses of color in sprites rather than BG tiles
This game was ahead of its time and caused me to develop many blisters!!
Boulevard of broken controllers

This game was impossible without a turbo controller
Totally agree. Had to have the Nes Advantage 👍
A battery AA
Factually wrong.
@@DisgruntledDoomer how so?
Because it *is* possible to beat the game without any cheats (=turbo controllers). You might need a fresh one, tho. @@JM-eg6yx
Konami's followup to the smash hit Track & Field recaptures the same bleeding thumb magic, only now with more events and with graphics now verging on 16-bit quality. We might not get the Olympics this year, but we'll always have Track & Field!
the graphics alone are what sold this game back in the day
My thumb still remembers the soreness after the Hammer Throw x.x
lol this description I thought it was a recent remaster, thanks for the time machine :) I like clay pigeon shooting in this and retro 1964 for mario and sonic tokyo 2020. 2:55 loved that triple jump music, makes me want to do some runs, well at home anyway.
I got sick of all that damn thumb smashing. I went and got the NES Advantage controller. Turbo all the way, baby! 😄
Is there any link or app to play these games in mobile
For the time, this is a really gorgeous-looking and sounding NES game!
Absolutely, there was much love put into programming this game for sure
I love how the audience sounds just like a broken speaker.
Konami games always sound great.
30 years later I still hum the theme song in my head
Konami and tecmo had good news music
Every time the Olympics come around this brings back memories of my childhood. This game made me want to watch the Olympics as a kid.
Nostalgia. I played this game for hours with my brother. We still realize today that Konami was making the most of the capacity of the wonderful NES
this was one of the NES games I had as a kid. Super nostalgic to me.
Agreee
NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Wish i could go back to these Days.
With what we know now.
Amazing graphics!
Konami was an amazing game developer in the 80s and 90s.
This game and the Super Spike V ball were so much fun. I didn't own them, but they always got heavy play on visits to cousin's house.
I owned and play the heck out of this as a kid. Some events I just could never seem to get down, but sure didn't stop me from playing! A Konami classic.
This is one of my favorite NES games. It brings back childhood memories!
many, many sleepless 80s nights trying to beat this 🎮 game...
Yeah, this was such a great game back then. Now you could try Medal winners 24.
But what is worth it….absolutely!!!
I always loved how a shootout with the Italian mob was an exhibition event. 😂😂
Crowd noise is the same as Blades of Steel hockey game.
The sparrow call made sense in this game, less so in Blades of Steel
The pinnacle of 8-bit gaming. I loved this game. This brings back so many good memories.
This game was so hard without a tutorial, I didn't know what to do for diving and many other disciplines, all I heard was "disqualified" all the time lol. Arm wrestling was the only thing I could enjoy without sucking.
Track Field ll yes Aristowi
Same here. Basically i was just admiring the visuals and sound, some of the best on the nes
The graphics are great
I love the recycled Top Gun sound effects when the plane landed.
At least it's not you who has to land it!
Love the Contra music and sounds during the gun firing
Loved the hang gliding. And the music was awesome. And it was fun to intentionally tank the high dives.
I enjoy this era of Konami music as it is the same era as contra, gradius 2, top gun 2.
back in the day I was like Wow on how good the graphics looked with the Big human sprites!!!
This is one of the best games ever created I used to play this about 30 years ago with my cousin and brother...it was golden era of Konami and I hope they modernize and make this game again which will be a high demanding game... time flies 😢
If you like this game so much, you should try Medal winners 24.
The game that made the NES Advantage a legend
One of my all-time favourite NES games in my happy childhood years, but that "Hammer throw" event is terribly hard to qualify even using turbo controller!! Damn it!!!
Watching this brought back great memories of playing this game for hours on end (though I could never seem to get the hang of high diving)
The sound track didn't need to go that hard but it did
Oh, cool. Olympic sports.
14:13 - Wait a minute...
I so wish that Lethal Enforcers was an actual event in the Olympics.
The faces on some of the athletes are intimidating and scary. They look like comic book villains.
😂
One of the most fun and frustrating games on the NES! 😄
This was gold. Now you realize that the sound of the crowd sounds like squeezing a bag of chips
Found a copy of this game in the box complete for 5 or 10 bucks at the game store I used to frequent years ago. Always was hilarious the expression of the characters in the arm wrestling segment.
Konami/Ultra Music has the best music on NES. I enjoy the music as well as the games.
I'm pretty sure it's the same art and audio team as Ninja Turtles. It looks like it was made by them.
Ultra and Konami were basically the same company.
I played this for years as a kid and it was fun playing against my cousins. Figuring out the scoring system was fun too.
The graphics were great on this. Exciting intro, made it feel like olympics. used the speed button on triple jump and had to turn it off before i jumped to jump correctly...I also forgot how many levels there are.
Great times when Konami was good and wanted to make games
I love how in the middle of Track and Field events you get "Gun Firing" where you are mowing down guys in trench coats and fedoras. LOL
I forgot that a game called track and field had events that weren't track or field related.....
Continue
Me and my brother played this for hours. We smashed the A + B Buttons.
0:28 the same plane landing sounds from Top Gun!
Looks like a 16 bit game, what a fantastic work from KONAMI.
I love how the audience sounds just like a broken speaker.
One of the best looking games on the NES.
Love youtube, never would i thought i would see this old ass game from my childhood.
I had not seen this game since 2001 !!!! My cousin, who is older than me, lent me his NES games during the summer.
Damn I used to play this game religiously and I never knew there was hang gliding on this!
Fiit Fiouuuuu, Fit Fit Fiouuuuuu. Classic Konami whistling
My thumbs blistered watching this video. I got the NES advantage stick just to play this lol
this game you needed the turbo controller esp for the hammer throw
One of my fav NES games i played as a kid at that time
I loved this game as a kid. For Taekwondo I used to do the 180 kick and if you get your timing right, it takes away about half of the opponent's energy. Two of those kicks and the opponent is done. Getting the timing though felt as good as as fatality in MK though
Fam would cheat
Good ole days
Taught us how to share or something
Thanks for uploading this sir,I never played the II version of this game,always played the first one,the original Track & Field.
Lowkey one of the best games on the NES, way better than the 1st
They really upped the ante with the presentation here!
I came here after watching Tokyo Olympics. So related. They did a great job with this game.
5:14 performance enhancing drugs. Impossible comeback.
10:50 shooting stage, the shooter is right handed when he shoots clay to the right and becomes left handed (11:09) when shooting clays to the left.
14:12 Wow, killing people was sanctioned as a track and field event.
17:00 same sounds from Bayou Billy!
4:36 The freestyle swimmer looks like Klaus Kinski
Of the hundreds of times I have played this game as a kid, I never knew about the “Gun Firing” level until now.
That level definitely seemed like the precursor to “Lethal Enforcers”. 😊
I used a spoon for this game!
80s baby💯

That "On Your Mark...Get Set..." is so sick
Apenas me vengo a enterar de que existió este espectacular juego, yo siempre jugué el Track & Field 1, el Track & Field 2 parece incluso de SNES
Nes SNES PS1 PS2 were dynasties with incredible games and to not surprise Konami were heavily involved with each mentioned console.
I'm amazed that how they improved the graphics on nes in the later years.
My childhood ❤
I loved this game.
Best olympic game ever.
This music pumps me up when I’m at the airport!
I almost forgot that shooting mobsters on the street was an olympic event.
Got B. Wells the swimmer looking like a serial killer. Lol.
Oh my god its been so many years, I didnt even knot what I was doing back then
The triple jump was my favorite
The Game When I Still A Elementary Student ,Love It🙏
I loved this game!!!!
May I ask you, what mean is exhibition?
The music on hang glider, holy shit!
A lot of the sounds are unfamiliar as I was never successful in any of the events as a kid 😂 This game was hard af.
My parents bought this for me of a street dealer and I use to play countless hours of it. The karate was my favorite due to bloodsport having a similar game. And the fencing Was amazing
YOU UPLOADED IT ON MY BIRTHDAY :-)
14:18 Gun Firing? I don't remember that. Going to have to pull out my copy and check that out.
Watching this during Tokyo Olympics 2020.
What a game! Good times!
I always have Top Gun nightmares when I hear the intro with the jet landing at the airport.

Omg childhood memories unlocked! Rhematoid arthritis from rapidly pressing the buttons for the win lool 😂
Good times 😍
One of the best looking NES games
Ahhhh, all classic American sports such as pole vaulting, hang gliding and gun shooting in one game!
I remember crushing this game with my nes advantage controller, lol!!! >_
Definitely a great game right here, the only frustrating games to me were the triple jumping and the pole vault. smh lol
I remember renting this from Erol's back in '89 and just being stunned at both the sheer number of events offered and the high level of graphics and sound. I remember reading about it in "Nintendo Power" and wanting to purchase it at "Toys r' Us" but it was hard to get a hold of.

This was based on the "24th Olympiad 1988 in Seoul"
I'm pretty sure that Gun Shooting Exhibition Event WOULDN'T be allowed in the actual Olympic games 😂
9:30 All these years i've never once noticed Ash Ketchum's dad out here clay pigeon shooting under the name Marge Simpson.
I don't remember all of this gun play wow wow. Im about to go back and play this game lol lol. Im getting sick of my PS5 lol
Jesus, have you been practicing this frickin thing since 1989?
The sounds lol so awesome
That white noise used for the crowd. So realistic, right?
Konami aprovecho lo maximo de los 16 bits por eso era la marca mas vendida y los juegos eran caros good saturdays
@@NintendoComplete It's memorable, though!
