Konami '88 (also known as '88 Games or Hyper Sports Special) is the third in the Track & Field game series by Konami, where you test your Olympic skills against other world-class athletes. As the name implies, it is loosely based on (and not licensed by) the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Bronze or silver medals are not good enough - you have to go for the gold to get to the next event. However, you must at least qualify in each event in order to compete in the next event:
League Bowling is an arcade game released in 1991 by SNK for the Neo Geo console and arcade systems. The game was unique in that it was the first arcade to put emphasis on bowling. The players controls characters with red and blue hair and can select balls from 8 to 15 pounds.

Designed by Century/Seatongrove, the game was built by Magic Electronics of Cranston, RI and marketed by Montgomery Vending. The game, once again, featured our old friend Quasimodo. Sporting his original green tunic from Hunchback, Quasimodo competed in seven different Olympic events. Priced at $375, the game was also available as a conversion kit for Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Scramble. This is a rip off of track and field.
Fighting Roller / Roller Aces is all about holding forward to jet down the racetrack and avoiding all the dang obstacles you can. All tracks are littered with all sorts of crap: Speed bumps, rocks, cylindrical columns, and gaping pits.
Pocket Gal Deluxe was produced by Nihon Bussan/AV Japan in 1992. It is the sequel to Pocket Gal. The gameplay of Pocket Gal Deluxe is similar to the Sega Genesis version of Side Pocket. In Pocket Gal Deluxe, the art style is much more realistic than Pocket Gal.

Mania Challenge, developed by Technos Japan and published by Taito, is an updated version of Mat Mania released in 1986. The main difference is the addition of a two-player competitive mode. The first player takes control of the main character from the original game, now named Dynamite Tommy, while the second player controls a new character named Hurricane Joe, who plays identically to Tommy.
The players must use an 8-way joystick and a single button to control their currently-selected players - and there are over 40 offensive plays and defensive formations to choose from (including "Bombs", "Double Reverses", "Half-Back Options", "Nickel Defense", "Zone Coverage", "Stunts" and "Red-Dog Blitz"), making the game more complex than Midway's Pigskin 621 AD (which was released earlier in 1990 but it only allowed two players to play it simultaneously). The game also features cheerleaders, coaches, commentary by an insane play-by-play announcer called "Manic Max", and a crowd of fans who cheer or jeer at the players, based on their performance (the leader of whom is "Joe Six-Pack").
Hustle is a 1977 game by Gremlin on Blockade hardware that is effectively Snake except that the normal pellets are replaced with larger pieces containing various point values that you get if you touch the piece before it disappears. Multiple pieces may also appear at once. You have one life; the game ends either when you hit yourself/a boundary or run out of time (the operator is presumably able to change how much time you can play for).
