You know, when I want to get pumped for a big event I always turn to Guru Larry. He always seems to inform me with great info. What a coincidence!? Larry is here just in time for E3! Let's get physical... British Style... with a little International Track & Field.

I don't know, but that's craziness. It seems like everytime ScrewAttack goes near sports games people score them low especially VGVs. I thought it was great as always, so you got 5 bolts from me.
But one of my favorites are summer games (i think) for C64, jumping in a Jar from an verry verry high trampoline.. shooting guys in a window etc etc... the funiest part was when you were climbing upp to the trampoline every 1 meter or so you got that special sound droum droum :).
Yea, this one was great as always from portland interactive :). Five thumbs upp...

I think I played a demo for this game. I never liked these button mashing speed games.
By the way, I use the "Wiggle Method" wherein you place your thumb somewhat loosely over the two buttons you need to mash and the flail the controller around like an idiot. Takes the pressure off of your thumb as the buttons push themselves.
I own this game as well, but cant play it anymore since it has too many scratches in it. :<
I always used a bed sheets corner or a t-shirt between the X and O buttons and my thumb. This game is totally worth checking out and it has infinite replay value.
You also got some secrets when you got some specific numbers in the sports like 22.22 meters in some sport and you get a mole on the screen.
Have to mention too that my brother was crazy in javelinthrowing and he always tossed it all the way to the track.

They've shown three different versions of it now, the original was Waaay to sped up and just looked stupid, the second version was near enough identical to this one, but the third one on the Retro Corner show has the vocals lag 30 seconds late for some reason.

I could have pursued it, but they've got a lot on their plate ATM and it wasn't worth bugging them really.
Plus, I know my true version of each Retro Corner is aired how it was meant to be on ScrewAttack now, Craig dosn't go round making silly/bizarre cuts to my work.

Hes just being a bit of a douche making fun of the way you said Atlanta. I can here now cause of the comment but it wasn't really a big thing. Around 0:44 kinda of sounds like an R is thrown in when you said Atlanta.
Good review; so do the AI always fail to keep up. xD

and i often find that when i drink a lot of beer i think that what i say is very very funny, when in reality, i am a complete dumbass. so i apologize. i do really enjoy these segments, and i might as well admit it here: i drink too much.
Ah happy days. nothing quite sticks out in my mind like playing track and field on the arcade machine in the 80's people crowded around constantly regardless of who was playing. I could play this for a good few goes for winner stays on loser pays games. :D yay for good times.

My thumbs where always sore after playing this game. 4 player was brilliant. i can only remember a few games i played using the multitap. This and Micro Machines V3, with 8 players! Pure fun.

I haven't watched anything by ScrewAttack Europe yet. Who knows what else I've missed out on. This was just great. But, you said the PlayStation was back in the days where there were just two ports. I think you meant to say. This was before the PlayStation 3, and Sony didn't realize that having four ports were a good thing. Not your fault, just Sony's.
Submitted by Guru Larry on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 4:18pm.
Sony could have put four ports in the PS2, but decided not to for profit purposes, you can see that by the fact they released a multi-tap at launch for the PS2 AND made the input port an ever so different shape, so you couldn't use the PS1 one on it either.
Submitted by Guru Larry on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 4:23pm.
Well I can announce that we're working on a new GYCW as we speak (possibly a two/three-parter), AND we'll also be introducing a brand new member into the ScrewAttack Europe family.
If anyone saw the Top Ten trailer on our Youtube account, I gave a split second mention of their name, but you're going to be REALLY suprised who it is! Someone pretty famous already (almost AVGN levels, infact he prolly could be considered the British AVGN)!!!

Oh mna this game brings bacl memories. Iplayed the sydney olympics games on PS2 and it sucked hard. it was soooo hard the running combo of buttons was rediculous. I couldn't do it.
this game looks fun though since you can get world records with like every try. I would get stoked to play cuz then I can make myself feel good by saying I just got a world record!
My friend still got the game and we play it time to time while we r drinking. man that game just kills my thumbs crazy rapid mashing buttons game, especially that swim part while playing on hard the qualify time goes up so if u fail u have to do it again mash 2 buttons for 1 minute it is craazyy.
oh and nice vid as always love ur stuff guru larry 5 stars for you.

If it makes you feel any better Larry, to me your awesome voice and accent is one of the best parts of GLRC. I only wish there was more stuff on screwattack from you. Thanks for these videos, they kick ass.

Hacking Track and Field
I think everyone had their own technique on how to hack and manipulate Track and Field just so is that they counld get as high a score as possible.
saw this on TV
last month :P
Why did they rename xleague tv to pulse.. sounds crap now..
yep yep yep
yeah it was much better when it was xleague.tv
i think the channel itself was better too. pulse just seems different
