Tom Plays Windjammers (PS4)

It's hot out! Time for some Windjamming! Whatever that is..?

Turns out Windjammers is a sort of Tennis/Frisbee hybrid and it's really fun! The game was originally released in 1994 and appeared in arcades and on Neo Geo home systems, while it did have a release on the Wii's Virtual Console in Japan, the PS4 is certainly the most fully-featured version and the most accessible.

It's obvious to see how this game has influenced titles like Mario Tennis, It's extreme, fast-paced one on one fantasy sports action, let's jam!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 90 - Street Fighter, Sabrina, Kinect Joy Ride and Binaryland!
