The arcade version was released in 1983. The simple gameplay, based on quick, repeating, button presses set the basics for sequels and similar games in the genre for the next decades.
In the original arcade game, the player uses two run buttons (or a trackball in some early units) 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.
The NES version of Track & Field was re-released in Europe in 1992 as Track & Field in Barcelona by Kemco in the light of the 1992 Summer Olympics. The opening song for the NES version is the Chariots of Fire theme by Vangelis.
