This Wednesday, August 8th, one of the all-time Arcade classics
Track & Field will be hitting Xbox Live Arcade. I was able to demo this in Chicago, and all I can say is that if you loved it in the arcade, you will be thrilled for the XBLA release. All the old-school bits and pieces are there, but they do include both the old sprite graphics and some newer updated ones that don't take away from the look and feel. The game will cost 400 points and be available at 5:00 a.m. EST on Aug 8th. See images in the
