The year was 1983 and Konami Track and Field appeared in the arcade -- remember using a pencil to speed up your time on the 100 yard dash?

Arcade Game: Track & Field (1983 Konami)

A sports/track and field game where you compete against each other in 6 track and field events. Only 2 players could compete simultaneously so on 3 and 4-player games, players had to wait their turn. An extra life is awarded for every 100,000 points acquired.
