Description:

Ballerburg is a game in which two castles seperated by a mountain take turns at shooting each other with their cannons in order to weaken their opponent and eventually force the enemy castle's king to surrender. Originally developed for the Atari by Eckhard Kruse in 1987 this has been remade using SDL and now recompiled to run on the Pandora. You can find information about the original at http://www.eckhardkruse.net/atari_st/baller.html

Loved a similar game I once played as a kid at a friend's in the late 1980ies / early 1990ies, but this game's UI/UX is so bad, that it's overall disappointing. Just some ugly generic Win95 styled UI overlay, no in game menu aesthetic. Rating 2/5.

Holy shit: I just had that melancholic feeling due to memorizing a short moment of my youth ... and reminding me about how old I am. =) Thanks. I hope I will find the time to play this.
