On its unveiling, the gaming media generally described it as a modern clone of Daley Thompson's Decathlon.[1][3][4] Released in 1996, it was developed and produced by Sega. A home port was released on the Sega Saturn in 1996, largely identical to the arcade version, due to the similar hardware of the ST-V hardware and the Saturn. It was released on the PlayStation 2 in Japan only as part of the Sega Ages 2500 series. Compared to other decathlon based games, Decathlete has a more comic and cartoon like style. A sequel followed in 1997, the winter sports based Winter Heat. GameplayThe game play is largely based on quick repeated button pressing for gaining speed, and timed single button presses for jumping and releasing projectiles, in a similar style to the 1983 Konami release, Track & Field. The game differed with a slightly more advanced control system and 3-D graphics. The player must select one of eight international fictitious athletes.[2] In the arcade version, the player competes in ten traditional decathlon events, requiring a minimum set time, height or distance to qualify from one event to the next. The home console versions also allow the player to compete in a full decathlon featuring all the events, 100 metres, 110 metre hurdles, 400 metres, 1500 metres, Long jump, High jump, Javelin throw, Discus, Pole vault and Shot put. Despite a potential for multi-player gaming, the game is only two player. In a one player game, the player only competes against at most one other character on screen. The only exception to this is in the 1500 metres, where six other generic athletes join the race along with one main character. Characters
Reception{{Video game reviews| EGM = 8.25/10 (SAT)[7] | NGen = {{rating|4|5}} (SAT)[8] | rev2 = Sega Saturn Magazine | rev2Score = 91% (SAT)[9] }} A reviewer for Next Generation said that compared to its rival, Konami's International Track & Field, DecAthlete has far more polygons, producing characters which are "completely smooth, crisp, and full of life." He also praised the variety of events, strong selection of modes and features, heavy distinction between the playable characters, and emphasis on timing and skill over button-mashing, which he felt set it apart from previous track-and-field games. His one criticism is that it supports up to 2 players, compared to International Track and Field{{'}}s four players.[5] The two sports reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly both commented that the game rose above simple button-mashing and had a strong sense of realism.[6] Rob Allsetter of Sega Saturn Magazine highlighted the 60 frames per second animation, and agreed with Next Generation and EGM that, while DecAthlete does involve some button-mashing, it emphasizes skill conspicuously more than other games in the genre. He also agreed that the game's one shortcoming is that it does not support more than two players.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|last= |first= |title=The ST-V Board in Surprise Resurgence Shocker!|journal=Maximum: The Video Game Magazine|issue=5 |publisher=Emap International Limited|date=April 1996|page=119}} 2. ^1 {{cite magazine|last=Bright |first=Rob |title=Get on the Good Foot |magazine=Sega Saturn Magazine|issue=10|publisher=Emap International Limited |date=August 1996|pages=42-47}} 3. ^{{cite magazine|last=|first= |title=Model 3: Sega Affirms Arcade Supremacy |magazine=Next Generation|issue=17|publisher=Imagine Media|date=May 1996|pages=12-18}} 4. ^{{cite magazine|last=|first= |title=And There's More...|magazine=Sega Saturn Magazine|issue=6 |publisher=Emap International Limited|date=April 1996|page=17}} 5. ^1 {{cite magazine|last=|first= |title=Decadent |magazine=Next Generation|issue=22 |publisher=Imagine Media |date=October 1996|page=175}} 6. ^1 {{cite magazine|last= |first= |title=Box Score: Decathlete |magazine=Electronic Gaming Monthly|issue=86 |publisher=Ziff Davis|date=September 1996|page=142}} 7. ^1 {{cite magazine|last=Allsetter |first=Rob |title=Review: Athlete Kings|magazine=Sega Saturn Magazine |issue=11|publisher=Emap International Limited|date=September 1996|pages=66-67}} External links
