Designed to test the player’s reactions, timing and stamina
Konami has released its first of several classic PSOne titles heading to the PlayStation Store in the coming months.Originally released in 2000, Bishi Bashi Special is a crazy party game, comprising of over 80 competitive mini-games – each madder than the last. Converted from two of Konami’s Japanese arcade machines – Super Bishi Bashi and Hyper Bishi Bashi – the compilation is designed to test the player’s reactions, timing and stamina. As the name suggests, some involve simply bashing the controller buttons as quickly as possible, while others require pixel-perfect movement and extreme hand-eye coordination.
The events go by such names as Juggler Panic, Burger Girl, Ladder of Love, Hyper Pie Thrower and Uncle Bean, and each can be played by up to three players simultaneously. The game enjoyed a huge cult following on release, and its reissue via the PlayStation Network is certain to engage a new wave of Bishi Bashi Fans.
The game can be downloaded now and costs just £3.49.
