I used to play Beijing with my brother. Ripped the skin of the palm of my hand doing the 100m

I loved the Track and Field button bashing. I hope this one will be like that. Will need to get a durable controller though.

I used to rub a clipper lighter over the buttons for hax speed in track and field

I remember having Athens 2004 and playing against mates, all sitting around nobody looking at the TV just all concentrating on frantically hammering the controllers.

Some of the best fun, why do we have to grow up.

Or you know, going outside, doing exercise.

Same thing.

Bam. :cool:

Needs to be a "track and field" game and be bundled with an Atari joysick for some serious waggling. I would buy

The game uses Steamworks.

Amazon are selling for £20 - Ordered.

It is £29.99 on the Sega store so Steam will be the same. Even with the obligatory 10% discount, I doubt it would be less than £20.

Its Sega forget buying this. Virtua Tennis4 is still broken after a year they cannot fix it to stop the saves corrupting Sega have a very poor record on PC of patching.

At least they dumped GFWL in favour of Steamworks, a step forward in my book compared to Vancouver 2010.

Is it a button basher? If so online and with friends could be good.

Neil79 · 26 Jun 2012 at 20:28

Great Britain TAKE GLORY
Great Britain TAKE GOLD
Great Britian TAKE FIRST

Athens 2004 was the cause of many blisters, until my mate showed me a technique of keeping your left thumb still over one button and using your other thumb to bash the other button.

The pad would bounce back up on to your left thumb, thereby pressing the button. Broke so many records using this technique.

Possible OCUK Olympics coming up?

rowedogg · 26 Jun 2012 at 21:12

no-one looking at the screen, only concentrating on pressing the buttons at 100mph

classic

5.5M and he didn't look health afterwards.

Button bashing has been toned down, now once you get your athlete up to speed you need to keep them there, if you go over the top with the bashing you slow down.
