The Story Behind Hyper Sports
Upon release of the home computer conversions, the ZX Spectrum version was the biggest-selling Spectrum game on the monthly UK Gallup charts. The home computer conversions of Hyper Sports went on to top the UK all-formats chart for two months in the summer of 1985, from July to August. The ZX Spectrum version won the award for best sports simulation of the year from Crash magazine, and was later voted number 59 in the Your Sinclair "Top 100 Games of All Time" list.
Sharpe of Play Meter called it an "exceptional follow-up" to Track & Field. In Europe, it became the number-one game arcade game in the United Kingdom. The Japanese release of the game sported an official license for the 1984 Summer Olympics, which was not applicable for its western releases.
How Hyper Sports Plays
In Hyper Sports, if all of the events are passed successfully, the player advances to the next round of the same events which are faster and harder to qualify for. In North America, it appeared in the Play Meter arcade charts for several months through November 1984, when it was one of the top four dedicated arcade cabinets at amusement arcade locations and one of the top three at street locations. It is the sequel to 1983's Track & Field and features seven new Olympic events.
