The Activision Decathlon is a classic sports video game released for the Atari 2600 in 1983. Designed by David Crane, it simulates the ten events of the athletic contest known as a decathlon. Players compete in events such as running, long jump, shot put, high jump, and javelin, trying to master the timing and speed needed to win a gold medal. It was renowned for its use of the Atari joystick and the physical rigor it demanded from players, often leading to the 'Atari thumb' phenomenon. Compare on Price Charting Show more
