Numan Athletics is sports game - or more more precisely a bunch of several futuristic sports minigames. The player controls 'numan' - a superhuman. Four numans (numen?) compete in eight bizarre competitions, such as throwing a rocket, running (faster than a dragster), and shooting targets (with fireballs or missiles). The game supports multi-player for up to four players.

Track and Field with "modern day supermen", running faster than a drag racer, more powerful than a battleship, and leaping across Niagra Falls in three bounds. I would have definitely checked this game out if I saw this in an arcade, and it delivers what it promises.
Fun to play; novel execution of a 3-button-and-no-stick control layout. Spritework and thematics and really hype. But honestly? About half of these events suck to play. Cab I played had really muffled audio, and for all I know, maybe I was missing audio cues that helped with the timing.
