Bouncers (Sega CD, 1994)

Product Specs

Description

Given a modicum of legitimacy by the voice-acting talents of Mark Hamill, Bouncers is a basketball-like game in which you get to "be the ball." Players select from eight different balls, each with its own introductory animation, and seven different courts, including the Haunted Mansion, Wild Tropics and Arctic Blasts. The way to score in this sloppy, physics-challenged oddity is to bounce your overly small "character" off the opponent ball and into one of the "baskets." The hoops, which are sometimes hard to make out, vary in appearance from a snowy mountain crevasse to a monkey holding his arms in a circle. Helpful power-ups, such as spring-loaded shoes, fall from the skies, but this is not enough to make the game anything more than a mere curiosity.
