VIDEO GAME CARTRIDGE FOR THE ATARI® 2600™ VCS™

TRACK & FIELD is a trademark of Konami Industry Co., Ltd., manufactured under license. ©1983 Konami

Insert the TRACK & FIELD cartridge in your ATARI 2600™ VCS™ as explained in your owner’s guide, and turn on the POWER switch.

You can use either a joystick controller or the special Track & Field controller to play the game. Plug either controller into the LEFT CONTROLLER for one player and either one into the RIGHT CONTROLLER for two players. Player one starts the game.

After the title screen is displayed, you’ll see a demonstration of two events – the 110-meter hurdles and the long jump.

Press GAME SELECT to choose a one- or two-player game and one of three difficulty levels – NOVICE, ARCADE, or EXPERT.

Before proceeding to the next event, you must earn a qualifying score by beating the qualifying time or distance for that event.

To begin playing, player one presses the joystick button or GAME RESET. Enter your initials (so you can qualify for the Olympic gold title) by moving your joystick to the right or left and then pressing the joystick button.

To return to the game options screen during game play, press GAME SELECT.

Move your joystick left and right or press the run buttons alternately on the Track & Field controller to run. Hold down either the joystick button or the action button on the Track & Field controller to set an angle; release either one to jump, or to throw the hammer or javelin.

The TV-TYPE switch and difficulty switches have no function in this game.
