Designed by David Crane, released in 1984. Long-term storage item.

■ Developer David Crane is a legendary creator who brought us Pitfall! and Ghostbusters.

[Events Included]
All 10 events: 100m dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m run, 110m hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500m run. Supports competitive play for up to 4 players, featuring smooth animation and intense sports action where button mashing and timing determine victory.

[Condition]
■ The cartridge contacts may have some dullness due to age.
■ The label may have scuffs or fading (see photos).
■ Operation has not been confirmed as I do not have an MSX system. This item is being sold as-is (junk).

[For Collectors]
This is a masterpiece that shines brightly in the history of home video games. It is a sports game masterpiece by David Crane, and the MSX version had limited distribution in Japan, making it a rare item that trades at high prices on the market. For reference, this software has sold for ¥13,000 on Mercari, and the average winning bid on Yahoo! Auctions is approximately ¥8,300. It is an essential item for collectors and for discussing 80s gaming culture.

[Shipping & Notes]
Carefully packaged and shipped anonymously. Sold as-is, with no guarantee of operation or condition due to unconfirmed functionality. Please refrain from purchasing if you are seeking perfection. In the unlikely event of an issue, I will respond with sincerity. Please contact me via transaction message before leaving a review. Immediate purchase is welcome after reviewing the photos.
