     Track and Field is one of the most popular arcade games, and
finally came out for the Apple ][ series.  The graphics are
pretty good and it is fun to play.  We hope that this doc file
helps you to play the game, and get better scores.  On with the
info.

                            Starting
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

When you boot up and get to the main menu, you have a few
choices.

1-4 Players:  This lets you choose the number of players that you
              want to participate.

Handicapped:  This allows a player to continue on after he does
              not qualify for an event.  This is not in the
              arcade game and can be changed for each player in
              a multi player game.

Level:        This changes the skill level of the game.  The
              higher the number, the longer jumps, lower times
              etc. are needed to qualify.

Sound:        This turns on and off the sound

[Space Bar]:  Starts a normal 1 player game.


After you start the game you will be asked to input your
initials.  These will be used to save you high scores and world
records, if you get any.

                     The Hundred Meter Dash
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

     This is a basic event that you run against your opponent.
You must press Button # 0 as many times as you can and as fast as
you can to speed you up.  If there are two players, you run in
different heats, against the computer.  By the way....you CANNOT
beat the computer because it paces you!

                          The Long Jump
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

This event uses Button # 0 pressed as fast as you can to run, as
do all events, and pressing the joystick to the <- [left] lets
you jump.  After you have run as fast as you can and have arrived
at the line [which will approach from the left and has an
official right above it and a sand pit right behind it, you
cannot miss it] you hold the joystick to the <- until the desired
angle in reached.  The angle measure will appear to your ->
[right] as you are holding down the joystick.  The longer you
hold the joystick, the higher the angle.  We have found that if
you jump at 45-50 degrees, you get best results.

                        The Javelin Throw
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

In this event, you press Button # 0 as fast as you can to run and
gain speed, and, when you want to throw the javelin, hold the
joystick to the <- until the desired angle is reached.  Similar
to the Long Jump in the way you control yourself, but you have
the throw the javelin instead of jumping....You can hit the bird
like in the arcade.  We suggest a 45-48 degree angle for best
results.

                      The 110 Meter Hurdles
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

In this event, you have to outrun your opponent, who is eigther
the computer or another player.  To run, you press down Button #
0 as fast as you can and to hurdle the hurdles, you hold the
joystick to the <- [left].  Every time you press to the <-, you
jump and if you hit the hurdle, you lose time.  If there are more
than 2 people playing, they will run in differents heats.

                          Hammer Throw
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

In this event, you have to throw a ball tied to a chain as far as
you can.  To do this, hit Button # 0 ONCE and you will start to
rotate.  After about 6 beeps [revolutions] you have to let go of
the hammer by holding the joystick to the <- [left] to get the
desired angle.  You want about a 45-50 degree angle to throw the
longest distance.

                          The High Jump
[\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\][\]

In this event, you have to jump over a bar set at a given height.
To do this, you have to press Button # 0 ONCE and you will speed
up.  When you get to the bar, hold the joystick to the <- [left]
until you get the desired angle.  You will start to jump as soon
as you move the joystick.  We suggest that you just tap it once
until you get enough height, and then hold it to the <- to get
you moving horizontally.


By the way, you finger will experience great pain if you play
this game to much...BEWARE!


[The open-apple and close-apple keys can be used instead of the
joystick buttons on the ][e
