Daley Thompsons Decathlon

[www.doyouremember.co.uk]

This was on both Spectrum and Commodore. It featured the decathlete Daley Thompson (obviously) taking part on all his decathlon events. To play you had to almost always hit certain keys or a joystick continuously as fast as you possibly could. It was exhausting! Indeed, it was a wonder keyboard buttons at the time lasted so long. If they made games like this now our controllers would be messed up straight away. Still, most people would agree that they dont make them like they used to.
