Nintendo Entertainment System · 1985
About this game
In Balloon Fight you need to fly around with the aid of two balloons and try to pop your opponent's balloons before they pop yours.
Landing on top of your opponents will cause their balloons to pop and they will use a parachute to fall to safety.

You then have to destroy the fallen opponents by running into them before they can blow a new balloon and rejoin the battle.
Should both of your balloons get popped, you will fall into the water below and lose a life.
There is also a second game variation called "balloon trip" where you need to collect as many balloons as possible while avoiding the ocean floor and lightnings that form maze-like walls.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Balloon Fight [5 Screw] for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
