Track & Field II is the ambitious sequel to the classic Konami button-masher for the NES. This game massively expands the scope of the original, featuring a total of 15 different Olympic-style events. The gameplay is a mix of the classic button-mashing for speed and precise timing for actions. The game is known for its incredible variety, with events that are completely different from each other, such as the rhythmic timing of Fencing, the angle management of High Dive, and the pure endurance test of Canoeing. It is a challenging and content-rich sequel.
