Track and Field sprints onto the Arcade
If you head over to the Xbox Live Arcade this afternoon, you will find that as promised, Track and Field is now available for download. It’s retro, sure, but a game that was regarded as awesome in its time. Nostalgia here we come!

This game should be a treat over Live, so let us know in the comments how it sizes up compared to the fond memories we have of the original.
“Nostalgia here we come!” should read “Broken pads and wrist cramp here we come”
This was one of the games I wanted remade for XBLA since forever. Just The Simpsons arcade, Outrun, Bank Panic and Mr DO to go.
booo that shit! cmon quake 3!
wasn’t this the game the NES had with the floor-pad, that you would run/jump on?
no, but the game you’re talking about kicked ass.
I used to use my hands instead of my feet so I could get the little guy running faster and jumping longer.
i feel my tennis elbow returning alreay
I tried it, then bought it. (I’m old, I had played it many times in crap old days)
Nothing spectacular… but it’s fun with friends over… or online.
It’s worth 5 bucks 2 me.
