Bang Bead

Bang Bead is a pong-esq arcade game released in 2000 by Visco Corp. It was released for the SNK Neo-Geo MVS hardware chip set. It is the sequel to 1998’s Battle Flip Shot.

Two of nine characters square off in a back and forth 2D tennis match. The speed and arc of the Bead was affected by reaction time from throw to catch and motions of the joystick, with quarter circle movements. The first character to lose all of their stars on their side of the screen loses.
