In July 1985 Sinclair User reported that the newly revived Imagine label had signed up Konami's arcade games, and that Hypersports had come out in June, with Konami's Tennis to follow in July and Yie Ar Kung Fu, Hyper Rally and Konami's Golf after it.	`p. 7 (image 7), newsp. 7 (image 7)`	Magazine
Sinclair User's review of the ZX Spectrum game (Imagine, 7.95 pounds), by Chris Bourne in July 1985, gave it four stars. It found its graphics more varied and generally better than Daley Thompson's Decathlon's, with more humour, but the swimming event's graphics the poorest of the six, and its sports not a coherent sequence as the ten decathlon events are. It called the game certainly superior to the current crop of sports simulations. The player goes on through the events until failing to qualify three times, and each new round raises the qualifying level.	`image 18, Hypersports reviewimage 18image 18image 18image 18image 18, facts box`	Magazine
