The Konami button-masher classic, better known as Hyper Sports in arcades. Events stay clear and fun in competition, especially across four players. The cartoony sports benchmark of the NES.

Collector interest

A port of Konami's famous athletics arcade hit, this Track & Field remains one of the most widely circulated NES titles, with loose carts plentiful at trivial prices. Its collecting interest sits almost entirely in the sealed segment, where the gap is dramatic given the fragility of early NES boxes. Outside factory-fresh copies, the game's pull rests on its arcade fame rather than on any real scarcity.

Is Track & Field still worth playing in 2026?

A pillar of the arcade sport from Konami, Track & Field gathers athletics events, from the hundred metres to the long jump by way of the javelin throw, in the great button mashing tradition. The frenzy of the running, the timing of the jumps and the competition for the record make it a fearsomely addictive title, especially in numbers. The simplicity of the concept stays its timeless asset. For a fan of retro arcade sport or someone nostalgic for speed challenges among friends, the title keeps an infectious energy and intact immediate fun.
