A ten-event decathlon competition with precision controls and multiplayer modes.
The briefing
FILA Decathlon is a sports game for Game Boy Advance centered on the ten events of the decathlon: 100 metres, long jump, shot put, 400 metres, 110 metres hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500 metres.
Running relies on alternating the A and B buttons, while the d-pad controls starts, dips, lane changes, rushing, and jumping actions depending on the event. Throwing events use more specific timing-based controls, including separate motions for building speed and releasing the shot, discus, or javelin.
Developed by Athletic Design AB and published by THQ, FILA Decathlon was released for Game Boy Advance on March 29, 2002.
