Hyper Sports September 27, 1985 // Family Computer

Four months removed from Hyper Olympic, Konami is back with another collection of Olympic events, except they've lost the Olympic license in the meantime so this is just "Sports." This game and Olympic would have their content combined into the NES title Track & Field eventually, but presumably four events was all they could fit in the ROM at the time. This is still a "Hyper Shot" exclusive title in Japan. The events in this one are the skeet shoot, the high jump, the triple jump, and archery. The skeet shoot really sticks out as just sucking, since it requires pretty precise timing and doesn't have any of the "mash as hard as you can to see how good you can do" fun that the other events have. The pattern is set in stone so eventually you can memorize it but that also just means it eventually gets boring and sucks for another reason.

What a difference 90 years makes juxtaposition of Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantiс, 1934 & Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 57 One of One, 2024. A one-off Chiron has been created that references the classic Type 57SC Atlantiс, an icon of the 1930s. The car has been commissioned as a 70th birthday present for a woman whose husband is also a Bugatti owner. She wanted her car to be a tribute to the Type 57SC Atlantiс and worked with Jascha Straub, Lead Designer Sur Mesure at Bugatti, to make her vision a reality

Hyper Olympic June 21, 1985 // Family Computer

The Los Angeles games were last year in our historical timeline, and from Konami comes the first big Olympic video game. This one is awkward because the Famicom version was designed only to work with Konami's "Hyper Shot" peripheral, which is just two big arcade-style buttons attached to a box. It won't take input from a regular controller.

This is the original button mashan games. One loop through the events and my arm was killing me. It's definitely fun, and I can see this being a blast with friends in particular. The game features the 100-meter dash, the 110-meter hurdles, the long jump, and the javelin toss. The best feature of the game, though, is maybe that the title screen music is literally the theme from Chariots of Fire, complete with guy running with the Olympic torch in slow motion.

There was also notably a limited edition of this game which turns the player character into "Bakatono-sama," a character played by the legendary Japanese comedian Shimura Ken:

I have no idea why this is a thing.
