Hyper Olympic © 1983 Konami

[@MacKlaus71]

Although I have never been a great lover of sports-themed video games (except car racing), I simply loved this game when I was a kid. The idea to running my character in sync with the speed the keys were tapped, gave me an idea of great empathy with the game and interactivity (in an age in which I didn't even know the meaning of this word). Also, I don't know why, but I really liked those little men, athletic versions of Super Mario, all of them equal to each other but the colours. From an early age I noticed a surprise: sometimes is visible a the little man with the key that is seen running under the audience. He is the protagonist of another arcade game: Tutankham (1982 Konami). A real Easter egg!

J'ai joué des heures avec ce jeu mythique. Quel bon souvenir ! Merci pour la vidéo.

[@andreea2551]

So nostalgic.. I was so bad at this game, but I enjoyed it like a cold beer in a Summer's afternoon

[@keithsudzy4364]

Man...This brought me back, a piece of my brain just opened up...Thanks

[@COLEY72]

I remember this at Mentone Ten Pin Bowling in the early 80,s ... The buttons were worn out 👍

[@railtrolley]

It was at Ringwood Lanes for me. Or sometimes Box Hill Bowl.

[@COLEY72]

@@railtrolley those were the days hey ... The good old days 👍

[@dannykaspers6648]

Good old days, never forget this game. Had many broken joysticks...

[@boopah4365]

I Never had joysticks for this game, just buttons.

[@kennethdrake9435]

And buttons... those poor buttons!

[@Yozzeus]

Master of this game in my childhood . None of the boys and girls, was even remotely close to beat my records.

[@Havoc-bc6oy]

I would man the jump button while my buddy ran and we broke all high scores. Watching this brings back everything including that air conditioning old carpet smell of the arcades I played this in

[@therookpiece]

Button smashing. Great stuff.

4:04-8:56: Game Over

[@aaroneaton583]

I remember when the Olympics came when we was younger we all ran to the arcade to play this game to try to put our name up top for number one

[@AntonSostaric]

me and my mates smashed all records on this game back in the 80s working together in game. 1 person would look after each button. To maximise speed we used a plastic coin tube over your finger and rubbed it across the button rather than tap it. Good times

[@SealAngel]

WOOOOO!!! in honour of Tokyo 2020 I thought I would check out this classic game haha

[@bianodias2000]

Always loved this game, and now I have on my DS, on a Konami Compilation

[@claudioerazo5559]

Bring back memories

[@sw1000xg]

I still have sore fingers thanks to this barsteward of a game.

[@pielichiewicz]

This game was joystick killer :)

[@jbone4309]

I remember using a cigarette lighter back and forth across the running button to get more speed. Good memories. Good times.

[@markw6586]

i used a shampoo bottle top, same thing worked well!

[@AndreasW-p4r]

I still have my Nintendo with me and there's something I can not let go

[@georgejetson1025]

I spent more time on this game while at college than I did In class

[@davy_K]

Surprised that someone who is so good at the earlier events hasn't mastered the hammer and high jump yet.

[@therookpiece]

Hahaha

[@Mikeyyyy_L]

Timing, Nobody would take the time to work on that they only wanted to be fast in running and hope to get through the hammer throw and high jump...

[@Georgina7769]

Does this game have more games on it? I'm looking for a game I played when I was a kid It had rollerskating, running, allsorts of different games in one

[@Suaveone-mm8yw]

So fun, what a workout 🤗😊🌞

[@therookpiece]

Button smashing classic!!!! Infinately playable. Great stuff.

[@angelasturman6626]

my mum used to play this when she was my age :)

[@fabrirud5156]

I was 11/12yo

[@lordstanleyjr2015]

At the arcade we used a lighter to roll over the 2 buttons instead of trying to push them.

[@NxDoyle]

I thought the third javelin throw was going to be an attempt to stab the bird.

[@dirtyglovegenetics8527]

Who remembers using a comb to press both buttons and get crazy speed? :D

[@crashtestcal6484]

We used to love this game. We would use the bic lighter technique to get high scores.

[@Q8Despair]

how do u run so fast? you only use left ctrl to run right?

[@6611haggis]

Pressing the button halfway through the last box should get at least 90 m in the hammer throw.

[@maxpokorny4074]

Yeah that was the one..We used to lean on the screen with our elbow arm and just focus on the last box..🇦🇺😂👍,Also like allot of people used the Bic lighter for the buttons..

[@SAFeCRACKeR09]

I used to put my fingers in a Kinder Egg capsule to slide over the run buttons, particularly good on machines where the buttons were arranged in a close triangle.

[@christianstrasser393]

I recall that continually pressing the "run" keys during the various jumping / throwing events would improve the results.

[@donchichoargentino]

Christian Strasser thats right!
