Hyper Sports, known in Japan as Hyper Olympic '84 (ハイパーオリンピック'84?) is a video game published in 1984. It is the sequel to Konami's Track & Field and features seven all-new Olympic events. Like its predecessor, Hyper Sports featured two run buttons and one action button per player. Like its predecessor, the Japanese release of the game sported an official license for the 1984 Summer Olympics. While not quite achieving the commercial and critical success of Track and Field, Hyper Sports still proved to be very popular among gamers.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
