Track & Field leaps into Live Arcade

by David Dreger { Aug 6th 2007 at 12:35PM }

We just got the release informing us that this week's Xbox Live Arcade title will be the 1983 classic, Track & Field. As a retro title, it will run you (Nyuk!) 400 Microsoft Points, and will feature all the XBLA standards, like Achievements Leaderboards, and also has 4 player local and online multiplayer over Xbox Live, which is a nice touch. The main menu, pictured above, looks pretty snazzy, with a familiar red, white and blue motif. While it's not a twofer, it's still a nice retro title for the week.

Nice, button mashing fun! I won't be buying this game, I'll break my controller.

Loved this game back in thy day. Already destroyed a couple of keyboards using with Mame so I don't think I'll be risking the 360 controllers on this one. And where the hell is Tron?

I just got a little tingle in my 'down theres'. I can't wait!

I have an expendable 360 controller (has a messed up LB button that I had to disassemble.) I'll just use that for this game.

Honestly, I do kind of dislike how every Konami title has a similar menu with the same sound effects... I like Namco's approach to that a lot better... although then again, Namco doesn't enhance the games in any way beyond that.

Get ready for a rash of broken controller news in the coming weeks.

One of my all time favorites, y-y-y-y-y-es!

Man I love this game. I used to spend hours at the arcade (I'm pretty old...) playing this and having so much fun trying to break the world records. Even though I have bought a lot of the XBLA games, this is the first I am really, really excited about.
