A olympic style game that has you competing against five enemies each with unique strengths in a series of events. There are seven events including 100m Dash, Hurdles, Javelin Throw, Pole Vault, Long Jump, Discus Throw, and Weightlifting. You can also practice events without an opponent.

6The button usage and competing opponents give Track Meet a unique play style however the actual events are just okay. Be careful about damaging your Gameboy with the button pressing.
