The first is the presence of Jenner himself. While not actually a competitor (unless you program one with his characteristics), he does pop up throughout the game, offering advice and insights on the various events. In fact, the included interview may be the highlight of the entire title. Jenner has also been able to convince the makers of WCD that the decathlon is one event, not 10 separate ones. Your endurance is strictly monitored over all 10 events; effort spent on the discus, for example, impacts your performance in the 1500-meter race at the end of the decathlon. You must approach each event with the overall picture in mind.
WCD should be applauded for breathing new life into decathlon titles.
Bruce Jenner earned the title "World's Greatest Athlete" in Montreal in 1976 by scoring a record 8,634 points in Decathlon competition against the best athletes in the world. Now it's your turn to experience the same thrills and excitement of international competition!! This time, however, Bruce Jenner will be your coach and luckily you will not have to compete against him.
Today is the day. This is the moment you've been training for - a new world record. You are posed and focused. You trip and fall flat on your face and after a quick world with your coach Bruce Jenner, you try again...this time you get it right.
In Bruce Jenner's World Class Decathlon, you get to pick the events, practice for the big competition, and organize your abilities in sprinting, running, jumping, or coordination.
You can practice any one of the events, set up any combination of events in your own personal track meet, or compete in the grueling two day international Decathlon. Play solo against other world class events or invite friends to compete in multiplayer competition.
You get to run, jump, throw and just have a great time competing in all 10 ot the great events that make international Decathlon competition so exciting with Bruce Jenner right at your side. And the best part is you won't be out of breath or even pull a hamstring.
Includes all ten decathlon events:

shotput
high jump
400 meter race
110 meter hurdles
discus
pole vault

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
