waterpolo Commodore 64 game

Grab your bathing trunks......In this sports game Gremlin serves a niche sport. We are talking abouter water polo.

After the successful start of the programme the starting screen appears in which you can choose between the following game variations:

The CPU opponent has 10 different difficulty grades. You play in 4 quarters with each 5 minutes of game time.

However, each attack needs to be done within 35 seconds, or otherwise the ball possession goes to the opponent.

As in any other team sport you can also make a foul. But after the 3rd foul by the same player he has to stay at the pool edge for 1 1/2 penalty minutes.

The graphics in water polo are good. The game area is designed clearly and the players are nicely animated.

The player that is currently controlled is marked by a brighter bathing cap. Even the ball changes to a darker colour at the pool edge, by which it is good to recognize. The very frowny looking referee is always good for a laugh.

Special attention has the Championship mode, where a tournament with 4 player can be absolved, which of course raises the "fun bar" even further. All in all is Water Polo in this area without competition.

Despite the slightly sparse sound, it is a successful game which promises long time of fun especially in twos.
