Konami's followup to the smash hit Track & Field recaptures the same bleeding thumb magic, only now with more events and with graphics now verging on 16-bit quality. We might not get the Olympics this year, but we'll always have Track & Field!

Amazing graphics! Konami was an amazing game developer in the 80s and 90s.

I love the recycled Top Gun sound effects when the plane landed.

Nostalgia. I played this game for hours with my brother. We still realize today that Konami was making the most of the capacity of the wonderful NES

This game and the Super Spike V ball were so much fun. I didn't own them, but they always got heavy play on visits to cousin's house.

Every time the Olympics come around this brings back memories of my childhood. This game made me want to watch the Olympics as a kid.

I owned and play the heck out of this as a kid. Some events I just could never seem to get down, but sure didn't stop me from playing! A Konami classic.

This is one of my favorite NES games. It brings back childhood memories!

This game was so hard without a tutorial, I didn't know what to do for diving and many other disciplines, all I heard was "disqualified" all the time lol. Arm wrestling was the only thing I could enjoy without sucking.

Found a copy of this game in the box complete for 5 or 10 bucks at the game store I used to frequent years ago. Always was hilarious the expression of the characters in the arm wrestling segment.

The pinnacle of 8-bit gaming. I loved this game. This brings back so many good memories.

One of the most fun and frustrating games on the NES! 😄

One of my all-time favourite NES games in my happy childhood years, but that "Hammer throw" event is terribly hard to qualify even using turbo controller!! Damn it!!!

The faces on some of the athletes are intimidating and scary. They look like comic book villains.

Of the hundreds of times I have played this game as a kid, I never knew about the “Gun Firing” level until now. That level definitely seemed like the precursor to “Lethal Enforcers”. 😊

Loved the hang gliding. And the music was awesome. And it was fun to intentionally tank the high dives.

I love how the audience sounds just like a broken speaker.

The game that made the NES Advantage a legend

Watching this brought back great memories of playing this game for hours on end (though I could never seem to get the hang of high diving)

I enjoy this era of Konami music as it is the same era as contra, gradius 2, top gun 2.

The sound track didn't need to go that hard but it did

Thanks for uploading this sir,I never played the II version of this game,always played the first one,the original Track & Field.

Me and my brother played this for hours. We smashed the A + B Buttons.

I played this for years as a kid and it was fun playing against my cousins. Figuring out the scoring system was fun too.

You must be insane. You really think this game stacks up to the likes of Mario 3, Castlevania and Zelda? (just to name a few of the genuinely best games of the NES) This game sucked ass. Graphics and sound were good but the gameplay was absolutely atrocious. Half of the sports I couldnt even figure out how to play them and the other half required insane mashing of the buttons that was literally impossible to pull off. THIS GAME SUCKS.

My thumbs blistered watching this video. I got the NES advantage stick just to play this lol

Great times when Konami was good and wanted to make games

Best olympic game ever.

One of the best looking games on the NES.

Love youtube, never would i thought i would see this old ass game from my childhood.

One of my fav NES games i played as a kid at that time

Apenas me vengo a enterar de que existió este espectacular juego, yo siempre jugué el Track & Field 1, el Track & Field 2 parece incluso de SNES

That "On Your Mark...Get Set..." is so sick

I came here after watching Tokyo Olympics. So related. They did a great job with this game.

I loved this game as a kid. For Taekwondo I used to do the 180 kick and if you get your timing right, it takes away about half of the opponent's energy. Two of those kicks and the opponent is done. Getting the timing though felt as good as as fatality in MK though

5:14 performance enhancing drugs. Impossible comeback. 10:50 shooting stage, the shooter is right handed when he shoots clay to the right and becomes left handed (11:09) when shooting clays to the left. 14:12 Wow, killing people was sanctioned as a track and field event. 17:00 same sounds from Bayou Billy!

Watching this during Tokyo Olympics 2020.

My parents bought this for me of a street dealer and I use to play countless hours of it. The karate was my favorite due to bloodsport having a similar game. And the fencing Was amazing

I'm amazed that how they improved the graphics on nes in the later years.

I loved this game.

The Game When I Still A Elementary Student ,Love It🙏

Looks like a 16 bit game, what a fantastic work from KONAMI.

Konami originally promoted for an October 1988 release date for Track & Field II, which definitely didn't happen until early 1989.

Loved this .....

What a game! Good times!

This was based on the "24th Olympiad 1988 in Seoul"

awesome game!

I remember renting this from Erol's back in '89 and just being stunned at both the sheer number of events offered and the high level of graphics and sound. I remember reading about it in "Nintendo Power" and wanting to purchase it at "Toys r' Us" but it was hard to get a hold of.

Wow this game was a whole bunch of fun 😃

I remember that I had a Karate Championship game for my old Apple IIc that was almost exactly like the Taekwondo event, in this game. Except one hit brought down either you or your opponent, and you progressed by winning enough matches to go up a belt. You couldn't "beat" the game. Once you reached Black Belt, your matches with CPU opponents became progressively more difficult until you were finally defeated.

9:30 All these years i've never once noticed Ash Ketchum's dad out here clay pigeon shooting under the name Marge Simpson.

Jesus, have you been practicing this frickin thing since 1989?

believe it or not track & field II was not only my first track & field game that i have ever played and owned on the nes back in 1989 when i was i think 3 years old maybe 4 now im 34 years old but it was also my first konami game that i have ever played and owned and what a game to start with and the rest is history which in other words it hold the most nestalgic value to me which we all know by now that konami back in the day was king so the more we forgot and not talk about konami today for my given sake and for others the better but my point being is that this is probubly the most nestagic konami game that i know and played and its a shame it got overlooked because there's alot to like about this game that has that good ole old-school nes konami magic and out of all the track & field games that im aware of track & field will always be my favorite track & field game in the series to me and will always be one of my favorite konami games on the nes to me even though im not the biggiest sports fan nor the biggiest olympics fan but this game is the exception along with blades of steel, double dribble,tecmo bowl,tecmo super bowl,tecmo bad news baseball,nintendo world cup a.k.a nekketsu high school dodgeball club:soccer,ice hockey and base wars of course

Until I bought an NES Advantage controller, that's exactly what my brother and I did! Even then it was difficult as hell! You had to pretty much act like a thrash metal guitarist to gain enough power/speed (which my brother was a thrash metal guitarist, so he often beat me in every event that required the rapid pressing of the A button)

I see you got the normal ending! I didn't know this game had different endings depending on how many gold medals you got. The best ending has the two athletes smiling broadly and showing off a total of 8 medals, 2 in each hand. The bad ending has them both showing their empty hands with a look of disappointment in their faces! xD

Mom knew how to do the hammer throw and it took me years to figure that out. She and I also figured out the method to make the archery arrow always go down the middle.
