Track & Field

Screenshots

The screen displays a track and field event in progress. The top portion contains a cyan-colored HUD panel showing score (000000), world record (093.93), quality (14.00), time (01.54), CPU (0757), and IUP (0639) values. Below are multiple horizontal colored lanes—purple, blue, green, orange, and black—representing the racing track. Two pixelated athlete sprites are visible mid-sprint across the lanes, rendered in typical 8-bit NES style with limited color palette and blocky proportions.
