Remember those track and field games on nes?

In New Orleans the kids across the street had the game and floor pad. When we got bored with our nes games, me and my sister would go over there and play their shyt.

a lot of people would roll a pencil back and forth

My best friend and his brother used to use a battery. You could even do it by pinching your thumb and index finger together, but that shyt would burn like a mufugga

But the game is unbeatable without doing it that way or having a turbo controller. A few of the games had hidden tricks (you could always set a new WR in the hammer throw by slowly winding and just throwing the hammer straight up into the air. Shyt would travel forward like 2 centimeters but register like an 80m throw). The triple jump had another glitch similiar to that.

Konami had shyt on lock in the late 80s, early 90s NES days.
