# Good old Daley Thompson's Decathalon
I had another similar game called "Hypersports" as I recall. Top notch joystick-wiggling fun.

# I think Hypersports was the Konami original
*checks* - no, Track and Field - everything copied those 2 many years ago :)

Moved up to a VIC 20 instead, 4k and a proper keyboard.

# Quickshot 2
with autofire

# I'm trying desperately hard to find out which joystick I had.
It looked a lot like the Quickshot II Turbo, but it had two red triangular buttons on the base. It did have the auto-fire like the turbo though.

# Yes
I remember the cheetah's head logo on the base now. But I can't find one on google with triangular buttons, only round ones.
