A olympic style game that has you competing against five enemies each with unique strengths in a series of events. There are seven events including 100m Dash, Hurdles, Javelin Throw, Pole Vault, Long Jump, Discus Throw, and Weightlifting. You can also practice events without an opponent.

  • Only utilizes two buttons for all of the events
  • Passwords are long for a Gameboy game

6 The button usage and competing opponents give Track Meet a unique play style however the actual events are just okay. Be careful about damaging your Gameboy with the button pressing.
