WindJammers

Up until now I am pretty sure game platforms were void of a competitive Frisbee game, but thanks to the kind folks at SNK, we now have Windjammers. Windjammers is a wonderful idea, that while a new type of game, really is nothing more than your basic Pong theme updated 15 years or so. Now there are goals worth different points, and there is added technique, but the game remains the same, and it shows.

But that's not to take anything away from Windjammers. As two player games go, Windjammers is just about the most fun you can have pushing buttons rapidly. There is enough technique to keep die hard gamers happy, and it's really just a lot of fun to play. It's simple enough, so everybody can enjoy it, and it has six different styles of backgrounds to play on.

The best feature, however, comes in the package of a mini game. I could be wrong, but until this game I had never seen a game with a Frisbee catching dog. And you know, that's really hard to resist. But all joking aside, Windjammers did get some notable success. This is especially odd since SNK only pushed fighting games. However, a good game can almost always find a market. If you see it in an arcade, or for sale, Windjammers is highly recommended.
