''Numan Athletics'' is an UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame by [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]] released in 1993. Four Numans - Sharon L'Halles from UsefulNotes/{{France}}, Harry Boffin from UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates, Masaemon Nakamura from UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} and Bongo Tembo from UsefulNotes/{{Kenya}} - take part in competitions. This is accomplished by 1 to 4 players who have to press buttons according to each competition. To pass it, at least one player must earn enough points, otherwise they have to pay a quarter to try again with lower requirements. After each round, the players' scores are compared assuming there's at least two of them, and the one with most points (or simply beats the game alone) wins.
