Windjammers rocks. It would get its own cabinet if I ever get around to building that arcade.

I'd never be able to afford that, but I'm pretty satisfied with my emulation setup :)

This would have been a conflicted upvote so I'm not doing it. Thanks for your reply and I hope things get better soon.

FYI- building an arcade cabinet yourself from MDF and parts is not an expensive process, and bits can accumulated over time.

What type of game is it? Why do you like it? 🙂

I'm not great at explaining, so here's a video :) (not my video) https://youtu.be/HYATiJRNUZM

When I was a kid and visited the camping with my family they had this game in the local watering hole. Spent a good bit of change there.

I played the hell out of this game back in the day. Still love it.

Extra points for it for the frisbee catching dog bonus game.

That’s a solid choice, also had my Windjammer period a long time ago :). Never thought a game inspired by Pong could be so good 😅.

Windjammers is awesome. If you're ever looking to try a different game that's similar-ish, Bang Bead for Neo-Geo is also great!

I'll check that out, thank you!
