Bounce 2 is a sequel to an Atari "PONG killer" that I'm pretty sure never existed

There's thing fishy going connected here. Imagine you're maine for a infinitesimal (sorry, I'm sorry, it'll beryllium implicit soon). I'm having a browse connected Steam, looking for thing a spot different, erstwhile you spot a vibrant, CRT-interlacing ridden Atari-esque looking crippled called Bounce 2. I click on, and observe it's a sequel to a 1983 Atari 2600 crippled called Bounce that was designed to beryllium a PONG killer, lone to merchandise during the infamous video crippled crash. Except I deliberation nary of this is true! Well, isolated from the spot astir Bounce 2 existing.

When you spot that a crippled is simply a sequel to 1 that came retired implicit 4 decades agone that you've ne'er heard of, the archetypal happening you bash is of people browse your hunt motor of choice. That's conscionable what I did, coming crossed an introduction connected the BBC Micro Games Archive for a crippled that did really travel retired successful 1983 called Bounce that is seemingly lost, not to notation the information that the BBC Micro is an wholly antithetic console that I've ne'er adjacent heard of made by yes, that BBC, the Bri'ish one.

Which leads maine to judge that this is conscionable a clever spot of marketing! A bamboozle! A hoodwink, a swindle, a con. It worked connected maine though, arsenic I present cognize astir Bounce 2, which I'll yet really archer you about. Bounce 2 is astir surely a derivative of PONG, with immoderate notable differences. For one, you don't determination a azygous enactment approximating a ping pong paddle, but an approximation of a quality fig that tin jump, kick, and dash.

The extremity is to people goals against your opponents, which are your friends, of which up to 4 of you tin play together. Simple enough! Made analyzable by the information that you tin plaything your arms to whack the shot adjacent harder, oregon to onslaught your opponent. Everyone does person their ain health, and taking it down to zero turns you into conscionable a head, keeping you successful the crippled and capable to proceed defending your goal, conscionable with a batch little limbs astatine your disposal.

It is simply a precise neat looking small crippled that adjacent allows you to standard the representation to acceptable your tendency connected your precise ain CRT, oregon adjacent set the games signifier and chroma settings that you'd usually find connected aged TVs similar that. Very overmuch appeals to my CRT-loving heart.

Bounce 2 is disposable to prime up connected Steam now.
