Bang Bead

Bang Bead (バンビード) is a competitive paddle game released in 2000 for the Neo Geo. The game was produced in very limited quantities, being believed to have not been released at all for quite some time.

Gameplay
Bang Bead plays much like its predecessor but changes a few elements around. Players don't carry shields anymore, so now bouncing back the ball is done manually by pressing the A button while touching the ball. Much like before players have to hit all targets on the opponent's side, though this time players must also hit the opposite wall once all targets are destroyed.

There are now seven characters available from the start, along with two boss characters which are unlockable by beating the game with all characters, for a total of nine characters.
