Windjammers

Windjammers (known in Japan as Flying Power Disc) is a stylized Flying disc game released in 1994 by Data East for SNK's Neo Geo.

A sequel titled Windjammers 2 is developed and published by DotEmu, and is coming to the PC (Steam) in a future date.

Description
Windjammers is an elaborated flying disc game with elements of volleyball, handball and the video game Pong. Two characters play against each other in a small closed arena delimited by a goal at each side. A net divides the field in two. Each goal is divide in three areas, each one with a number assigned to it, indicating how many points the player who scored in that area will earn (variating between 3 or 5 points). The game is divided in three sets, whoever wins two sets is declared the winner of the match. If a set ends in a draw, each player will be awarded a set. If by the end of the third set, the players are tied in set points, they will proceed to sudden death, with the first player to score a point being declared the winner.

Players must throw the disc into the opponent's goal and score points to win a set. There are several ways of throwing a disc, determined by the direction the player is pulling down the lever. The disc can ricochet against the lateral walls of the arena; players can use them to confuse the opponent. Another way to score a point is the opponent failing to catch the disc, making it fall on the ground. Two points can be awarded that way. If the player is holding the disc, the A button throws the disc towards the opponent's goal, while the B button throws the disc up in the air. If he's not holding the disc, the A button will make the character dash towards the desired direction. Each character has a special move that makes it more difficult for the opponent to catch the disc.

There are six different courts, each with its own characteristics: Beach, Lawn, Tiled, Concrete, Clay and Stadium.
