Crash reviewed the ZX Spectrum game in August 1985, from Imagine for the 48K Spectrum at 7.95 pounds, and gave it 92% overall, calling it an excellent arcade conversion, one of the best yet. It counted six of the arcade game's events: swimming, skeet shooting, horse vaulting, archery, triple jump and weight lifting.	`p. 25 (image 25), "Hyper Sports"p. 25 (image 25)p. 25 (image 25)p. 26 (image 26), comments boxp. 26 (image 26), ratings`	Magazine
Crash's three unsigned comments on the Spectrum game were favourable. One called it a superb arcade clone, as close to the original as the Spectrum allows; another found it no piece of cake and frustrating to be sent back to the start for an arrow a fraction of a degree out; the third called it the copy to get for anyone who wants one true to the arcade game. After the last event the events begin again with the qualifying marks raised.	`p. 26 (image 26), first commentp. 26 (image 26), second commentp. 26 (image 26), third commentp. 26 (image 26)`	Magazine
