[@Thurmanatr16]

Used to see people use pocket combs back in the day. This is amazing!

[@jammagaming7595]

Great vid , amazing technique!

[@youtube-ventura]

Pen or pencil worked great for me

[@roadsidecamper]

Same here

[@FlyHec]

You don't need a butter knife when your tech is as smooth as butter. Looks good!

True legend.

[@steveanton763]

Empty Coke cans were the tool of choice in Australia. Youd swipe is back and forth across the buttons..worked a treat and didnt damege anything.

I remember when i was young and we had to pay, it was crazy to come back at home imagining how to speed it up !

[@JacknVictor]

The blisters i had playing this game, whether in the arcade or on consoles, but international track and field on the playstation, the technique we used to win was great, but the blusters were so painful, like a cross between paper cuts and third degree burns. I remember you could rell whi had been playing it over the weekend because they would have fingers with the top 2 sections either blistered up or bandaged. Ivehad a leg amoutated whilst being awake, and going tgrough having those blisters was more painful. They would be sore for over a week, in agony the whole time. What was the first thing you would do when they healed? Fire up IT&F on the playstation again. Gluttons for punishment.

I saw people using butter knifes and index finger in the early 80's.

[@baddboo]

You should do a versus video with the max controller 😛😛

[@svrocko1]

I wish I saw this about 40 years ago!

[@MarcoLizza]

I saw it fourty years ago. This was a very common technique, in the arcades of our area back then. :)

[@briancurry6602]

stay cool

[@lawrencescott2647]

Nice🤗 if u have an old NES version use that little cheese cracker dipping stick and a drill bit. Lay the stick across both buttons and spin the drill on the stick. You'll have so much fun like 100m in 5secs javelin like 200yds🤣

[@projectpat006]

Or just use a NES Advantage or any turbo controller, that's what I did

[@mandrake1017]

In Spain, we used cigarette plastic lighters XD

[@sarahverelst]

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

I really want to see those fingers!

[@TheFamousFamas]

I can get about 8:50 with 2 fingers. Have no idea how you do this

[@daveblack3728]

You have no idea?? He just showed you!

[@JoeCnNd]

Maybe he mean't coordination wise.

[@Bruce1983]

[@curewindy3]

[@vegasyo11]

I used a butter knife lol

[@dickiedavieseyes]

Hey Jon, long time! Great technique! I see you've been to Arcade Club Leeds recently 🙂 And topped 'HFX' records om 100m! Was back there two weeks ago but didn't try T+F, just concentrated on Hypersports /Paperboy/ Moon Cresta! Cheers - AL

[@jammagaming7595]

Hey Al, just commenting because I stumbled on this vid and saw your comment. Me and my mate have been trying to beat your Moon Cresta high score down at Arcade Club 😂 How many loops did you do for it, 5?

[@dickiedavieseyes]

@@jammagaming7595 Hey did you manage to beat my score? I had the top 5 when was there, lowest was 92k. Are you 'COH' btw? 🙂 Me and some mates came over from Dublin, Ireland so dunno when will be back again. Number of loops? Can't remember lol Cheers - AL

[@dickiedavieseyes]

Just checked your channel. Your the 'R-Type' guy from Leeds? We actually chatted outside one of the nights (if it is indeed you)!

[@jammagaming7595]

@@dickiedavieseyes yes I am the r type guy along with my mate. We play it obsessively 😂

[@jammagaming7595]

@@dickiedavieseyes I think I remember talking to you now - you and your mates had gone to Bury and then Leeds and you were smashing the score on Punch Out?
