This listing is Track and Field 5 Screw, an early 5-screw shell copy of Konami's multi-event sports game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Konami released Track & Field on the NES in North America in April 1987. You get the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The North American cartridge combines eight events taken from Konami's arcade games Track & Field and Hyper Sports. Five events come from Track & Field: the 100m dash, long jump, javelin throw, 110m hurdles and high jump.
The arcade hammer throw is gone. In its place are skeet shooting, archery and the triple jump. The opening music is the theme from Chariots of Fire by Vangelis.
The Japanese Famicom version came out in June 1985 as Hyper Olympic, with only four of the original six events. The North American release is a larger package.
The game had a long life in Europe. Kemco published the NES version there, and in 1992 a European re-release called Track & Field in Barcelona was tied to the Summer Olympics held that year. In North America, Konami kept publishing duties itself.
Early NES cartridges were held together with five small slotted screws. Later shells used fewer screws. PriceCharting gives the 5-screw version of this game its own entry, separate from the standard copy. The game inside is the same. Our standard Track & Field listing is on its own page, so check the photos here to see the exact 5 screw Track and Field cartridge you will receive.
The quickest way to tell the shells apart is to turn the cartridge over and count the screws on the back. Use the listing photos to confirm the shell type before you order.
