Dinosaur Balls
Dinosaur Balls (better known as Pang outside Asia) and Super Bubble Mania are fun and cute arcade-style games that feature identical gameplay despite being created years apart by two different companies.
In both games, you control a boy or girl who has to pop balloons that bounce around the screen, with cute backgrounds (the dinosaur graphics in Dinosaur Balls justify the name, although it has nothing to do with the gameplay). When you pop a balloon, it splits into two smaller balloons, so you must keep popping them until they are small enough to disappear. Balloons are popped by shooting arrow beams upwards, while trying to avoid being hit by them. Although the game is quite difficult, the arrow beams you shoot stay in the air for a while and can destroy any balloons that come in contact, which makes the job a little easier because you don't have to aim as well.
Two players can play together in hot-seat mode, and there are plenty of bonus items to collect (my favorite is the one that freezes all the balloons on the screen for a few seconds). Released five years after Dinosaur Balls, Super Bubble Mania improves the graphics and adds more gameplay styles, such as 'crazy mode', where you have to face balls of different shapes and physics, and 'mania mode', where huge balloons make the game much more challenging.
Overall, both games are worth a look, but be aware that they're far from easy: you'll soon find yourself running away from dozens of tiny balloons bouncing wildly across the screen. They're fun, but I find Pea Shootin' Pete more varied and manageable than these two games.
