Enter the Hypersports Championship and take part in the six events of Swimming, Clay Pigeon (or Skeet) Shooting, the Vaulting Horse, Archery, Triple Jump and Weight Lifting. A combination of wrist-dislocating joystick waggling and pixel-perfect control need to be utilised to get the player through all of the disciplines. Most of the eventsd allow three goes to equal or better the qualifying time or score, the third unsuccessful attempt means disqualification from the championship.

Even though the game is so old that it's badly in need of a shave, Hypersports refuses to give up its claim to be one of the most enjoyable arcade sports games on the C64. Some of the events are looking a little dated now, but the enjoyment is still there. A snip at three quid.

A blast from the past which upstages many of its less wrinkly competitors. If multi-event sports sims are tops in your house, don't pass up the chance of getting Hypersports.
