Originally released in 1994 for the arcades and the NEO-GEO, I never even heard of this game until my good friends over at Giant Bomb started playing it semi-regularly on their livestreams about 4 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the following it got among the Giant Bomb community was in part responsible for DotEmu porting it to PS4 this year. I actually came across it for the first time when I went to PAX South this year. They had a room just with arcade cabinets and they had it there. I played a few matches against random guys there and did better than I expected. Then it came top PS4 later this in the year over the summer. Windjammers is basically glorified pong. You have 1 player on each side guarding a goal and you toss a frisbee back and forth. It features a simple two-button control scheme, but deceptively deep gameplay mechanics reminiscent to a fighting game. The stick moves you around, while one button allows you to lob the disc around the court and the other allows for precision shots. Momentum plays a large part in things as well. Just tossing the disc might work, but youll stand a far greater chance of landing a shot if you go back and forth with your opponent and build up the discs speed. The faster it goes, the less of a chance your rival has to catch it. You can bounch disks into the air and if you can stand under them in time you can charge super moves to launch at your opponent. You can also curve your shots in a multitude of ways to try to fool your opponent. The goal is to be the first to score 12 points with there being 3 point and 5 point markers in the net to try to throw your your disk as well as 2 points for landing a lob on your opponent's side. The end result is quick matches that are exciting and intense and really scratch the same itch that I get from playing fighting games. Winning a 1 on 1 match against another human is very satisfying and provides a momentary sense of superiority before you're immediately thrust into the next match. I ended up playing this for about 2 months or so online and I was consistently in the top 100 in the world on the leaderboard when I was playing. The game was also my most satisfying platinum trophy of 2017. Not for the online but because of the Hard Mode in Arcade. I played that mode 2-3 times every day over the span of that 2 months memorizing the AI patterns and basically having to put together 6 perfect matches in a row to beat all 6 AI characters on that difficulty. It was far more difficult than any one I ran into online and definitely helped in training me on what to look for to win matches quickly and easily.
