Shoot some hoops, NP1 style
I was recently introduced to a very addictive Flash game. At first glance, it might look boring, but play a couple of rounds and you’re probably going to be hooked. It’s just a simple aim-and-click game where you shoot baskets. Might not look so tough, but if you like to actually play basketball, you’re going to see how realistic it feels. Not to mention maddeningly frustrating.
... but Sega Genesis has Blast Processing.
Yeah, that’s it. But things get better… because it’s multiplayer. You can play the game with plenty of other people online, but like most online games, people are going to figure out a way to cheat. Therefore, it’s more fun to play with people you know, or at least the ones who don’t cheat. Essentially, it’s like playing Diablo. That’s why I set up a room for the good people of NP1 Nation to play together.
When it comes down to it, this basketball game is a lot like the old classics “Gorillas” and “Scorched Earth” without angles and wind to judge. Just pick a trajectory and let ‘er rip. Scoring is simple enough, as the ball is placed in a random spot and it’s worth more depending on where the ball is placed. If it goes in “nothing but net” it’s multiplied by two. You have two minutes to score as much as you can.
Baines for two!
Hope I see some new high scores soon. Good luck, suckers!
(PS, Fran pointed out how the scoring works because I’m rather oblivious.)
