I also rememeber a Microsoft Decathlon game for the
Model 1. I have no
idea if it was ever availble on the PC. It was great for ruining
keyboards, though (for the 'running' events, you had to press 1 and 2
alternately as quickly as possible...) I don't think I ever had that one,
though, just saw it.
I remember playing that a LOT on my Model III with my brother. Yes, it did
eventually kill several keys. If I remember correctly it was possible to
hit your player in the head the both the shot put and discus, to which the
game would respond with "I have a headache" or something similar. From
memory the original was a self booting disc, though the copy that came with
my Model III was modified to run from TRSDOS. I think there was a similar
PC version, also a self booting disc. I think I downloaded a disc image
from somewhere, but I never got around to trying it it.
