Daley Thompson's Decathlon is an Olympic-themed sports video game developed and released by Ocean Software in 1984.[3] It was released in the wake of Daley Thompson's popularity following his gold medals in the decathlon at the 1980 and 1984 Olympic Games. The game shares significant design similarities to Konami's 1983 arcade game Track & Field.
A second game, Daley Thompson's Super-Test, was released the following year. The third title, Daley Thompson's Olympic Challenge, was released in 1988 to coincide with the 1988 Olympic Games.
