I remember throwing the javelin right up into the air and hitting the turkey in the sky -- splat...
The long run was a pain.... You got a real workout hitting the buttons.

Oh and I at one time had track and field and the CONTROLLER for it for the atari 2600.

If you wanted to cheat you could use the “comb†method. Place a comb over under the second and fourth fingers, but under the middle finger and you could use it to tap the buttons much faster.

Forget the comb, we used a butterknife that was bent and since i had some weight to it, that sucker would have you running sub 8 sec 100 yd dash. And if you had someone press the jump button the 110 hurdles was a snap to do.

Yep, different tools, same technique. See we were the original hackers!

What is this "pad" you speak of? No such thing on the original arcade game:
In the original arcade game, the player uses two "run" buttons (or a trackball in later units that replaced the buttons that were continually broken- some buttons were originally replaced with buttons that had guards on them so players could not slam them with their fists) and one "action" button to control an athlete competing in following six events:
100 Meter Dash – Running by quickly alternating button presses.
Long jump – Running by alternating button press and correct timing for jump. Hold jump button to set angle.
Javelin throw – Running by alternating button presses and then using action button correct timing for angle (~42 degrees is optimal).
110 Meter Hurdles – Running by alternating button presses and using action button to time hurdles
Hammer throw – Spinning initiated by pressing a run button once and then correctly timed press of action button to choose angle (45 is optimal).
High jump – Running (speed set by computer) and then action button must be held down to determine angle of jump. Once in the air, the run button can be rapidly pressed for additional height.
In each event, there is a qualifying time or level that the player must achieve to advance to the next event; failing to qualify (in one heat for running events or three tries in the other events) ends the game.
