    Something odd I didn't notice as a kid in 1989: "Hurdles" is not "Hurdles". There's water after the hurdle, so the event is "Steeplechase". The English game says "Hurdles"; I wonder if the original Japanese text is the same.

    Thanks Trav!! Been listening to you and Alex for quite some time now! Great content! Track and Field II was in my rotation a bunch when I was about 8 yrs old. Gotta love how even the music is great on this title! My favorite event is canoeing and if you know which order to go you can get some really fast times! Too bad you didn’t get the pistol shooting cuz that is fun for sure! Thanks again and have a good day ! Can’t wait for the 1993 and 1994 episodes on DF !

    I only got the first one a few years ago but I grew up playing Track and Field II and absolutely love it. The only event that still gives me trouble is the horizontal bar. After all this time, I'm still really not sure what I do to barely squeak out a victory.

    One thing I think is interesting here is the fact they used both cartoony and realistic graphics in these games. Games at the end of the NES still had cartoony along with realistic, so it caters to both sides. Fun video.
    Also, the pistol shooting on 2 looks almost 16 bit in its presentation. Impressive.
    I'm always here for the old games with countries that no longer exist, like USSR and West Germany.

    Man, these games look wayyy better than the *World Class Track Meet* that I was stuck growing up with (though to be fair, the Power Pad definitely feels like it is the right way to play any of the button mashing running games).
    That being said, I mainly remember cheesing the long jumps by hopping off of the mat and then quickly back on for WCTM.
    I can understand why anyone would hold the T&F games in high regard now (Tae Kwon Do, archery, and clay shooting are nowhere to be found in WCTM), but even so you can't knock the giggly novelty of playing pass-it-around Caveman Games at a party. Gotta give that game credit where it does earn it.

    T&F II is better in every way and is quite impressive looking for a NES game but it's missing my favorite event. Javelin Throwing. So because of that I favor the original T&F.
