Well, after my recent woes with Dig Dug, it’s about time for some good news. I recently added a Hyper Sports board to my collection. For those of you not familiar with the game, it is essentially the sequel to Track & Field. The board is playable in the Track & Field cabinet, uses the same button layout and features the following events: swimming, skeet shooting, vaulting horse, archery, triple jump, weight lifting and the pole vault. Here are the scans of the original market flyer for the game:
I was able to mount the board in the cabinet in a position that the edge connector can reach both the Track & Field board and the Hyper Sports board. To switch between games, I simply power the cabinet off and move the edge connector from one board to the other. The Track & Field board is in the metal cage, the Hyper Sports board is mount to the board spanning the width of the cabinet:
It’s always fun to add a new game to the collection, especially when you can do it in an existing cabinet and save much needed space. I played a few games last night and realized I’m not very good. I can’t seem to make it past the third event, the horse vault. Here are a few shots of the game in action:
On a side note, I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 this morning and had a few issues. hopefully everything is sorted out. If you have any issues with the site, please let me know. That’s all for now. Hopefully there will be some progress with Dig Dug soon!
I have an issue… Third-to-last sentence above should read. “If you have any issues …”
Thank you, editor…er, Patrick.
