 HYPERSPORTS Imagine 1985

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Simple enough : win each event!

 GAMEPLAY : There are six events in all. Once you have entered your
 initials, you move onto the competition itself, which starts with:

1. Swimming
	- waggle the joystick or rattle the keys to get speed and, when
	prompted, press the Jump button to breathe. Getting the timing
	wrong will mean a mouthful of water and an interrupted stroke,
	which means slowing down.

2. Clay Pigeon Shooting
	- two boxes are shown which move up and down the screen, acting
	as left and right sights for the appropriate barrels of your
	shotgun.  Shoot as many of the clay pigeons that fly over by
	pressing either the left or right key as one passes through the
	correspoding sight. You have three separate attempts to qualify.

3. Vaulting
	- although running up to the wooden horse is automatic, you
	must time the jump onto the springboard correctly, using the
	jump button, to have a successful vault. Too soon and the jump
	will be too short; too late and a trip awaits! If you succeed,
	you will land on the horse. Press fire again and hit the
	left/right buttons as fast as you can to do a somersault. Try
	to time this so that you land on your feet, as an undignified
	cartwheel or (worse still) landing on your head loses you
	points, as well as giving you a severe headache...

4. Archery
	- pressing fire determines wind speed and then a target is
	winched down the range which you must hit. To do this, allow
	for wind speed and let go of the arrow by pressing the jump
	button. Make sure your angle is as near to five degrees as
	possible and, if you have got it right, you will get a bullseye
	(worth 400 points).

5. Triple Jump
	- the left/right buttons come to the fore again, as you try to
	get up enough speed. Run up to the line and press the jump
	button, trying to get as near to 45 degress as possible. Repeat
	twice more for the step and the jump, and then wait for the
	measuring.

6. Weight Lifting
	- probably the most strenuous event! First select the weight
	you want to lift and then pound the keyboard or joystick to
	lift the weights to chest height. At this point, press Jump to
	"snatch" the weights and pound away again to keep the weights
	above your head.

 COMMENTS : "A superb arcade clone... this conversion is excellent."
RATING : 92% (CRASH #19, August 1985)

 NOW : A simplistic but playable sports game. All right if you like
that sort of thing.
