    The only thing that's missing here? That Data East logo in all of its desert chrome glory, something that's been unceremoniously cut from the title screen. It's an excision I can live with, I think, in what's otherwise a gloriously handled port of a 90s arcade masterpiece that's every bit as dazzling today as it was back then. It's been polished up, but at its heart this remains a slightly scratchy, bluntly simplistic sports game that still exudes a magic of its own.

Unfortunately, the PS4 port (while sturdy) is only a must-have for hardcore fans. Besides the base game, there are just a few bonus extras. A few mini-games have been added along with the option to play online. Visually, you can choose between two ratio aspects, add scanlines, use a CCR monitor filter or borders. Also, there are two musical soundtracks, the original arcade version or an upgraded remix. Gameplay is simple, but strategic and lots of fun. If you absolutely loved Windjammers back in the day, this is the best way to play it. Overall, I would rate it with a 7.6 out of 10.… Full Review »
