JAVELIN by Alan Didcock



The Spectrum has had all sorts of sports simulations available for it from Kung Fu to Decathlons, but now QL users can join the Daley Thompson crowd with this sports simulation.



RUN UP



Pounding the left/right cursor keys builds up power and speed, and the fire button must be pressed to throw or jump. The length of time that you hold down the space bar determines the angle of throw, jump, and this is indicated in the bottom right of the screen.



To advance onto later events you have to equal the qualifying distance and score - so no goofing off!
