Introduce
In Carl Lewis Athletics 2000, players are thrust into the exhilarating world of Olympic track and field events right on their Game Boy Color. The game focuses on realistically simulating classic athletic events, demanding skill and precise reaction timing from the player. Each event features unique control mechanics, often revolving around rhythmic button mashing or precise timing of button presses and releases.
You will compete in a variety of diverse events such as:
- 100-meter Dash: Requires rapid and continuous button presses to achieve maximum speed.
- Long Jump: Needs careful timing for the run-up and jump-off to achieve the longest distance.
- Javelin Throw/Discus Throw: Demands a combination of power and accurate throwing angle.
- Hurdles: Requires precise jumps to clear obstacles without losing momentum.
- Other events like High Jump, Shot Put, etc., also present their own unique challenges.
The main objective is to win gold medals in each event, thereby unlocking harder difficulty levels or improving personal bests. The game likely features tournament or Olympic modes, where players must compete consecutively across multiple disciplines to become the overall champion. While the graphics on the GBC are simple, they effectively convey the competitive atmosphere, complemented by cheering sounds and small effects that enhance the appeal.
