Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter EggsTRICKS:Javelin: Throw the javelin off the top of the screen to bring down a bird for a 1000 bonus. High Jump: Fail the first two jumps and then clear it. A mole burrows up for a 1000 bonus. Long jump: Three jumps with same result will get a can't remember what to scroll from right to left and award a 1000 bonus. 100m dash: same time for player one and two will award a 1000 bonus. BUG: In Javelin, throwing over 100m will cause a counter wraparound, so a 100m12 throw will be logged as 0m12 and will not qualify you! The faster you press the RUN buttons in alternating motion, the faster you will run. Some players discovered using a pencil or battery quickly across the buttons in a rubbing motion resulted in faster times. Game IntroductionCompete in Olympic events. You must qualify in each event to move onto the next. Hit the two run buttons to build up speed and use action button to jump or throw. The events are:
Game PlayWhen you alternate tapping the run buttons Run 1, Run 2, Run 1, Run 2 ..., you will get a much better speed increase. You have three attempts to qualify on all but the two running events.MiscellaneousCOPY OF: Track FieldVAPS Arcade/Coin-Op Hyper Olympic CensusThere are 12,084 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 9,585 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.
