Airball

Well, I can't say that games which use the typical "Knight Lore"-style gameplay are something that make me get excited. They tend to get confusing and not worthwhile to play nowadays. But Airball is one of the better clones with rather fast and fluent gameplay and a nice background tune. There are three difficulty levels. So there is the right option for every kind of player. I appreciate that this game made it to a kind of official release in 2007.

Can you outwit the wizard before he deflates your existance?

"Now you are really in trouble," said the evil wizard Navi, "for I am turning you into a ball and sending you into my dungeon with over 250 rooms! If that sounds easy I'm telling you it's not, because you have a fatal slow leak and you must find a room with a pump or you will surely die! Do not pump yourself up too much or you will explode in a rubbery mess."

Explore the wizard's 3D isometric dungeon through 3 difficulty levels. Each level the items are rearranged and new challenges are added. The printed manual includes some Game Genie codes to make your quest easier.

Much more than a reproduction, this original game cartridge is built using all new parts. No donor carts were harmed in the making of this game.

Unreleased in 1990 by Tengen. A fully finished version of the game was finally discovered and a negotiation with the various creators of the game to make a production run of it was successful. You can get a cartridge in a box with instructions. Its really just like any other NES game, except for the late release date.

A prototype cartridge is owned by Brett Cramer
