looking for the name of an arcade game

[QueBert]

not sure this is the right forum but here goes. it's old, maybe 88 or something, it's like Track N Field but the events were lumberjack related. I thought it was called "Lumberjack" but apparently I'm wrong. I use to love playing it at the mall, I'm sure it sucks and my memory is all wrong but I'd like to find it again and see...

Well that took me a few seconds on Google.

Timber?

 

[QueBert]

No it wasn't Timber, I know and love Timber. This was a Track N Field like game with events like Log Toss & chopping down a tree. Timber is a classic, this was something else

Strength & Skill (damn helpful name..). Here's more screenies.

Nohr, I don't think that was is, that one's a bit older. I actually played the one you found last week. I remember the first event being a log toss, this one doesn't even have that. While I don't remember the graphics 100% it looked better than this. GOOD find though, thanks man. It took me an hour to find that one lol. I played it and it was alright.

This is madness I don't think I will find this game.

Wow, I guess I'm surprised there was such a plethora of lumberjack video games. :laugh:

This is the closest I could find: World Games

It's not entirely lumberjack related but it does have caber tossing and log rolling minigames and a track and field style.

I know, maybe in the 80's a couple programmers were ex lumberjacks or just fans of them. I ended up playing Timber last night, addicting damn game.

to Piuc2020 it's not World Games, that was a good C64 game though.

The game I'm after has vanished, I suppose it could be Strength & Skill and I'm just not remembering it the same. It's been 17 or more years since I've played it in an arcade.
