Description:
Video Whizball is a game where players control paddles that have to protect a goal from being entered by whizballs. To protect their goal, the players paddle can fire missiles which can be aimed straight or angled up or downward. Missiles that hit whizballs can help propel them to start going in an opposite direction. If one of the missiles or whizballs hits the players or the opponents paddle, it will temporarily disappear leaving the respective goal undefended. The game is won when either one of the players gets to a previously selected score. The game contains 72 game variations of this basic premise. Variations include having from 1 to 4 whizballs, and 6 different game types: Basic: each whizball is worth only 1 point; Basic Plus: players can guide the missile shots into the whizballs; Bonus: whizballs can be numbered 1 through 4 and are worth that many points each; Bonus Plus: adds guided missiles to the Bonus game type; Super Bonus: whizballs increase in value from 1 to 9 points the longer they stay in play; Super Bonus Plus: adds guided missile shots to the Super Bonus game type. This preprogrammed cartridge plugs into the console of the Fairchild Video Entertainment System for more TV fun on the Channel F Network. Imagine shooting pool with both players going for the balls at the same time. Thats just a hint of the slam-bang action youll find as you try to knock the whizballs into your opponents goal.
