Best show ever! Thanks for bumping it. You know, that start music still gives me chills, in a good way, I mean. When I began playing Wizball I also had no idea how to play the game. I don't remember how I discovered shaking the joystick back and forth to activate the anti-gravity and other power ups. Maybe I found the spacebar hints, I dunno. After that I played that thing like there was no tomorrow. Then one time my friend and I stayed up all night playing two player co-op. Must have been seven or eight hours straight on that game. Those Slik-Sticks got a real workout. I know we were well over 100,000 points but don't remember what the actual score was. After that I got kinda burnt out on Wizball but it still has a special place in my heart.

Thanks for both the suggestion and the feedback! Those old two-player co-op games were the best. My friend and I played Realms of Impossibility for weeks on end.
