About this game

Hyper Sports is a sports game released by Konami in 1984. Compete for top place in a total of 7 events: swimming, clay shooting, vaulting horse, archery, triple jump, weight lifting, and pole vault. Up to 4 players can play at once, in what is sure to be a great time!

Six tough events await in this joystick-waggling action game. The full sequence of events is - swimming, skeet shooting, gymnastics, archery, triple jumping and weightlifting. You must complete each event in order to be allowed onto the next one. Swimming involves moving left and right as fast as possible, while pressing fire when a breath is required. Skeet shooting and archery both come down to timing - though elevation and wind factors affect the latter. Gymnastics involves timing a succession of presses to ensure that the jump is long and the landing graceful. The triple jump involves one press for each part of the jump, whereas the weightlifting involves merely brute strength.
