Hacking Apollo's Racquetball

[+johnnywc]

Hello all,

 

I have read many reviews on this game and the general concensus is that it is unplayable because of the many shadows of the ball that are displayed (they are supposed to *help* the player follow the path of the ball, specifically the ones on the side and on the ceiling.

 

Anyway, I am one of the few that actually enjoys this game and I'm impressed on how closely it captures the essence of the sport. However, I do see the issue with the shadows though - and was wondering if anyone has ever disassembled this game? I was wondering what the possibility was of removing the unwanted shadows to make for (hopefully) a more playable version of this underrated *classic* .

 

What are everyone's thoughts on this game anyway? Am I alone in my opinion?

 

Thanks,

I guess the interest-meter for this game is lower than I thought...

 

Maybe I'll try to disassemble this thing myself and see what I can figure out. I'll keep everyone posted with my progress!

The play mechanics take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's a decent game. If I had the time, I'd sit down and master it.
