I have good memories of playing this on a ferry crossing from England to France in May 1985, while on a school holiday trip for a week. The game graphics seemed much more impressive back then though! :D
Best score in continuous mode on an original coin-op machine, with buttons, back in the late 80's was 522.480. Events scores: (not all in the same game) Swim - 48.30s Skeet - 18,200pts Vault - 9.60pts (12 turns with a bad take off) Archery - 10,800pts triple Jump - 19.35m Weight Lifting - 465kg Pole Vault - 5.94m
Ciao, io ero il più forte del mio paese, i record venivano registrati. nuoto, 46:50, tiro a segno 19600, salto con pedana 9.75, freccette 10800, salto triplo 19,22, sollevamento pesi 540kg, salto con l'asta 5,96. giocavamo i 3, 2 eravamo nella velocità, e uno era solo per l'aria del nuoto, freccette, e tutti i salti, ma nel tiro a piattello ero solo io...... bellissimi tempi, nell'86, avevo 12 anni
@@lucaschapman2188 anyway you can translate that with Google translate LOL, I said Rimini was full of arcades during the 80s and the first half of the 90s, I played Street Fighter 2 for the first time in Rimini. That's what I said. Sadly there isn't even an arcade left in Italy. Maybe one in Rome? Anyway, bye bye
I have a Hyper Sports machine sitting in my basement. Power cord went bad tried to replace it, hasn't worked since.. Billyboy and I would have had some challenging scores to try and beat .
its not "sampled" speech the games hardware uses a VLM5030 speech synthesis chip designed Sanyo the same chip was also used for the speach in Nintendo's arcade game Punch Out as well. as well as a number of other arcade games at the time ..
I remember seeing some guys back in the 80s who must have been musicians who were drumming the buttons with their fingers, must have been tapping those things twice as fast as a normal person could and they were doing the full 260kg most attempts. They were so good they just kept cycling through all the events for hours.
There are a total of 16 difficulty settings to this game (easy 1-4, medium 1-8 and hard 1-4) and it's default at medium 8 at least in Mame, which is definitely 10 times harder than this =)

Only know the C64 version. It is amazing it was ported that exactly from the arcade version...And now I learned the Commodore port lacked pole vault!
Triple Jump, Archery and Skeet Shooting were in my NES Track & Field game.

my best is 363,000 something
This one really got some great sampled speech in it :)

That was the first time I had ever seen anyone successfully lift more than fly weight in this game.
I remember getting up to featherweight when this was in my local arcade. But I had real problems with the triple jump and pole vault.

Used to play this on BBC micro. Now tried to play version on android phone but quite difficult. Not as good as this.
Impossible for me to do the tryple jump any advice?

Hi. Could anyone tell me the controls you are suppose to use for the pole vault event please?
最初に出たハイパーオリンピックが連射のし過ぎで、筐体の故障が多かったらしく、このゲームでは連射の必要性を排したゲームになったね。
でも、その分インカムは少なくて、割に直ぐ撤去されたとか？
I could ace everything except i never figured out the high jump ??
