Track &amp; Field IITrack &amp; Field II Track & Field II Track & Field II, known in Japan as Konami Sports in Seoul, is a sequel to "Track & Field" created by Konami for the NES in 1988. It still continues the Olympic-themed sports events, but adds more realism by choosing a country for the player to represent. The series boasted 15 sporting events, with two of them available as bonus stages between rounds of the "Olympic" mode. As the Japanese title indicates, the game is based on the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, hence the introduction of Taekwondo (a Korean martial art) as one of the  events. A common problem players had with the game was that many of the events required a power meter to be built up by rapidly pressing the A button, then releasing it with the B button. Many players could not press the A button fast enough to build up enough power, though it could be done with a turbo controller, or using a method similar to strumming a guitar, by holding the controller against the player's chest or a flat surface and using the thumb and index finger together, running them rapidly across the A button. Sporting events. The  triple jump, freestyle swimming, clay pigeon shooting, pole vault, and archery events were previously featured in "Hyper Sports". The hammer throw and hurdles events were originally featured in the original "Track and Field". Although gymnastics was featured in "Hyper Sports", that game had the vaulting horse rather than the horizontal bar. Extras. The game has a password feature allowing the player to continue playing from their last position at another time. In addition, the Gun Firing exhibition event could be played with either the NES Controller or the NES Zapper. Reception. The game topped the bi-weekly Japanese "Famitsu" sales  chart in October 1988, dethroning "".
