Ocean's Decathlon was a big hit on both the Spectrum and CBM 64 and happily the Amstrad version is better than both of them. As the litle suggests there are 10 events: 100m, long jump, shot putt, high jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500m.
To make Daley run, you must waggle the joystick from side to side — the faster you waggle, the faster he runs. Each event has a qualifying time which goes up each time you compete in that event.
Decathlon is a very good conversion of the arcade mega hit 'Track and Field' with the benefit of having some extra events thrown in. Both graphics and sound are good making for a reasonable game and it's very playable and highly addictive. If you like this sort of game then you can't do much better than buying it. The only drawback is that it is likely to wreck your joystick!
Overall AMTIX! rating: 79
