This Wednesday on XBLA: Track & Field

This Xbox LIVE Arcade Wednesday, gamers can log virtual track time and exercise their fingers and thumbs with the highly anticipated “Track & Field” from Konami. Originally released in 1983, Track & Field was an arcade smash. The updated version for Xbox LIVE Arcade features the same button mashing game mechanic as the original, and now allows for up to four player multiplayer competition on one Xbox 360 or over Xbox LIVE. Clocking in at 400 Microsoft Points, “Track & Field” will be available to download on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday 8th August beginning at 09:00 GMT.

Other hot games also releasing in August include:

· “Ecco the Dolphin”
· “Hexic 2”
· “War World” .

Then later:

· “Geon: Emotions”
· “Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords”
· “Space Giraffe”
· “Streets of Rage 2”
· “Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix”.

Great news, I loved Track and Field as a kid, will definately be getting this. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be one to get as well.

Man, I wish the 360 had a proper arcade stick. It might make me buy some of these retro games. Track and field would need a heavy duty one too :D
