Balloon Fight (Nintendo, 1986)

I bought this game because I remembered a friend having it when he first got his NES in '85 and I loved it back then. This game is one of the first that came out for the NES, I believe and it is SOOOOO much fun. It is a 1 or 2 player game which is even more fun when a friend plays. There is also ballon trip mode which is challenging but fun as well. You pump your balloon in flight to get altitude and try to pop the other characters balloons and then trash their parachutes so they fall. The game gets progressively harder as you advance thru the levels. The only complaint that I might have about it is the unusual and sometimes hard control and mode of floating around obstacles and lightening bolts. Overall, I rate this game a 9 on a 1-10 list and highly recommend it to anyone that loves 8 bit gaming.
