    Originally released on the Namco NA-2 hardware on September of 1993, Numan Athletics is a sports game which takes the formula made famous by Konami's Track and Field and its sequels and takes it to a whole new level which would only be seen in comic books and anime series such as the late Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series.
    Each event has a goal to meet and if it isn't cleared, you'll be disqualified. There are eight events in total with each one having a unique set of rules, with many of them using the expected methods of mashing buttons and timing things correctly in order to succeed.
    And just like Namco's previous multi-player games such as Tank Force, Exvania, and Knuckle Heads, up to 4 players can compete against each other to see who is the superior superhuman whose cast includes Sharon L'Alles from France, Harry Boffin from America, Masaemon Nakamura from Japan, and Bongo Tembo from Kenya.

      Isn't that the same architecture as the Playstation 1 or am I thinking of a different Namco board. Since Sony and Namco worked together along with Ken and his team on the original Playstation system.

      Just be sure to invest on an arcade stick since this game shows no mercy on the buttons at all.
      And even with that, make sure the stick is well maintained since it can be used as an alternative to the Left and Right buttons when the L Stick option is set to on.

      The music was done by Nobuyoshi Sano who made his composing debut with this game. He would later compose Rare Hero for Ridge Racer 1.

    Alright why wasn't this on SNES? This game looks amazing! it would have been hours of fun, especially if it supported Hudson Soft's 4-player multitap! So why didn't Namco have it ported?!?

    Awesome, I loved playing this back in the day at an arcade in Matlock, England.
    Hopefully much like Rolling Thunder getting it's sequel, AA gets round to releasing Mach Breakers too, criminally overlooked!
    Also - In this present day of awful western designs, the Numan games have some great waifu's and cool looking guys :P
