DECATHLON ATARI 2600

The Activision Decathlon is an Olympic games series similar to the Epyx series of games. Up to four players can compete in the ten different events of a real-life decathlon, either sequentially or individually. These include the 100 meters, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 meter dash, 110 meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and the 1500 meter dash.

Flat racing events involve simple joystick flicks, which must be balanced with precisely timed button presses to clear obstacles - hitting them or breaking stride results in a loss of momentum and therefore time.
