Developer: Jacques Hugon

Jacques Hugon was one of the programmers of Track & Field, Atari’s 2600 version of Konami’s 1983 arcade game. He made it at General Computer Corporation (GCC) with Seth Lipkin and Allen Wells. The cartridge has six athletics events, from the 100-metre dash to the high jump, and used Atari’s extra-memory “Super Chip”. It was once going to be called Los Angeles 1984 Games, and prototypes with that title survive.

Track & Field

Track & Field is Atari’s 1984 Atari 2600 version of Konami’s 1983 arcade hit. It was programmed at General Computer Corporation (GCC) by Seth Lipkin, Jacques Hugon and Allen Wells. You compete in six athletics events, from the 100-metre dash to the high jump, and you must reach a qualifying mark in each one to carry on. It is a button-mashing game at heart, with timing that matters as much as speed. You can play it here in your browser.
