xyzzysqrlI mean, like it even deserves mention? But I try not to skip or ignore what I play here for the sake of a better narrative, so yeah. I played this NES game from 1988 on my Switch and really enjoyed it.
Part of it was growing up with the game, of course. I retain a lot of stupid, trivial knowledge about this one, like remembering the painting of Mao "The Dong" Zedong in the China stage (although it looks like a man with a nutsack covering his face and eyes). I remember that Randy Sting on team USA invented a special ball technique called "The Stinger" which is why he's usually on my active team, and that John Stone was the defense guy and Bill Flash has a move where he just throws the ball like a mile in the air and it comes down like an orbital kill strike and the other team usually can't block it.
This is the kind of thing that I retain instead of my phone number or ways for me not to die if left unattended.
Anyway this only took like half an hour to play but it did let me listen to an all-time Technos banger of a music track and also all games count, not just big long ones.
