Super friggin Dodge Ball. Everything surrounding this game is pure happiness. This is the only sports game on my list, so that says a lot. Although calling this a sports game would be like calling a jackhammer a hand tool.
So, basically, you're trying to kill each other. It's pure, simple, and easy to understand violence. My brother and I loved it. You're trying to annihilate your opponents in professional dodge ball matches to the death. This was another game we'd play until our thumbs were sore. Who needs to go outside when you can play games like this?I'm sure it wasn't the on-screen violence's fault, but this game led to many a scrape between Joby and me. There's only so many pixelated power shots you can take before you lash out in real life. It was all good on the co-op mode, but when we'd go versus- you'd best just back up!
It would start off slowly. A little push here or there. Then would come the I'm joking, but I'm not really joking, so you better stop doing that punches to the upper arm. Next was full on smacks and kicks. Before you know it, people are getting strangled by controller cords, whacked in the back of the head with Zapper guns, barrel-rolling around on the floor, and lamps may or may not be falling off of night stands. By then our mom had already come in and threatened to take away the Nintendo. That usually got our tails back between our legs. Can't we all just get along?"One more power shot, sucka!"
Come back tomorrow for my next game. And be sure to check out all the posts in my Most Memorable NES Games list.
