Family Trainer: Athletic World / JAP

Family Trainer: Athletic World for the Nintendo Famicom is an innovative sports and exercise game that brings an active gaming experience directly into the living room in conjunction with the Family Trainer mat controller (also known as the Power Pad). Published by Bandai, this title was one of the first attempts to combine physical activity with video game fun - long before exercise games became commonplace.

In Family Trainer: Athletic World, you compete in various sporty mini-games in which you control your character by jumping, running and bouncing on the mat. Obstacle courses, river crossings and reaction tests require not only skill but also real physical exercise. The game is aimed at players of all ages and promotes fitness and coordination in a fun way.

The graphics of Family Trainer: Athletic World are colorful and child-friendly, with charming 8-bit animations and a cheerful, motivating background music that perfectly matches the sporty setting. Despite the limited technology, Athletic World impresses with a unique gaming experience that clearly stands out from typical Famicom titles.

Family Trainer: Athletic World for the Nintendo Famicom is ideal for retro fans, families and collectors who want to experience nostalgic exercise games. In combination with the original training mat, it is a piece of interactive video game history - and a forerunner of modern fitness games such as Wii Fit.
