This was one of the few crappy games I got with my original Gameboy when I bought it used from a cheap used video game store. Well, they mostly sold other crap there, usually no video games, but the called it a video game store, and by chance, they had a Gameboy. Well, let's start off, with what, *exactly* you do. You’re a Penguin, Rabbit, Bat, or any other stupid cute animal, except with a dark side. You get kicks out of rolling bowling balls across a table trying to knock other cute fuzzy animals out. Pointless Sounding? With good reason it is, I assure you. Now, supposedly, the animals have different characteristics I guess, but they all seem the same to me, except they look different. Sort of. Well, ok, except for the bat they all pretty much look the same with slight color variations. But anyways, the game is simple. Simpler than Tetris, and a hell of a lot easier. I know, it doesn't sound possible, but it is. All you do is pick up the balls with the A button, and roll with the B button, while trying to dodge your opponent. At the same time however, you have to dodge your opponents’ balls. If you get hit, you lie on your head with stars going around and wave your feet in the air. I'm sure this is confusing, as the rules are so deep and complex. The game is easier than anything else I've played. All you have to do to win is eihter a) Throw all 10 balls onto your opponents side or b) have the least balls when the timer runs out. All you have to do, to get a 'perfect' game, is nock the animal resembling blob on the other end out, and then throw all the balls on his side. Challenging. The graphics suck. Sometimes, to challenge you, little things run around on the table and bounce the balls back. Extremely difficult. The music is crappy at best, repetitive series of several tones that gets faster towards the end. I will give it originality, because nobody else has been stupid enough to make a game like this.
