Sports Games II - by 64 Games 21

This floppy was on top so I'm going to go for it first. I ask you to pardon the choppiness of the capture. This disk is two-sided, with Championship Boxing and Kung Fu Master on the A side and a ton of other games on the B-side. Unfortunately, a couple were corrupt past the crack screen.

Championship Boxing
Publisher: Sierra Online
Year: 1985
at Moby Games

Championship Boxing didn't do so hot suviving to this decade. After running it enough times, I was able to get past the first screen, but my boxer was still pretty globy and glitched out. You can see one of my attempts above. The beautiful splash screen just sort of melts.

Kung Fu Master
Publisher: Spectravideo International Ltd.
Year: 1984
at Moby Games

My favorite game on this disk is definitely Kung Fu Master if for nothing more than the crack screen. Sure, the game is fun, but how can you not love someone who calls themselves Daddy Zero? Anyway, heres a video of the crack and me tranversing my sprite through an unfortunately psychedelic level.


Ghostbusters
Publisher: Activision Inc.
Year: 1984
at Moby Games

B is for the Bandit Jr., the pirate of most of the games on this side. The sea dog starts with this title which needs no introduction.


Scrolls of Abadon
Publisher: Access Software, Inc.
Year: 1984
at Moby Games

Scrolls of Abadon is new to me. While I was really hoping for some roguelike, I was pleasantly surprised by the fun font and neat gameplay.


Reversal
Publisher: Hayden Software, Inc.
Year: 1981
at Moby Games

I don't know how to play Othello at all but I like all of the flashy lights. Thank you, Super Pirate, wherever you are...


Minnesota Fats' Pool Challenge
Publisher: Bubble Bus Software
Year: 1983
at Moby Games

What was I expecting from a title like Minnesota Fats? More than a bunch of circles that obey a 2D reconstruction of physics. Unfortunately this was the last game on the disk that wasn't corrupt!
