About this product
Product Information
Now you can hit the lakes with fisherman extraordinaire Hank Parker in Bassin's Black Bass for the Super Nintendo. Your goal is to become Bassin' World Champion by fishing and competing your way through four tournaments: the local amateur tournament, the amateur bass championship, the pro bass championship, and the Bassin' world championship. You cannot skip your way through the amateur ranks to other tournaments or lakes; the tournaments must be completed in the appropriate order. The fishing holes include Green Valley Lake, Onyx River, Bronze Lake, and Bluestone Lake.<br><br>After registering to begin a new game or continue an existing one, it is time to fish. There are sixteen different lures to choose from, each with its own attributes. For example, the frog bait slides easily through weeds and lily pads, and the noisy bait creates a splash that attracts the lunkers. Other lures include crankbait, plastic worm, pencilbait, spinnerbait, swisher, backtail jig, minnow, jig-and-pork bait, grub, vibrating line, tubebait, spinner, crayfish, and buzzbait. You can catch a variety of fish in this game, but only the three species of black bass (largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted) can be weighed in and kept in the live well.<br><br>To get really good at catching fish, you must consider weather conditions, how far (and in what style) you want to cast the reel and how powerfully you want to reel the fish in. Other options, features, and variables to consider include line tension and slack, water temperature, lure position and color, and which side you wish to face when reeling in a fish. After you get a bite, you must fight the fish, using techniques such as swinging the rod left or right or pulling up quickly on the rod to set the hook. A color meter will show you the strength level of the fish or the angler.<br><br>The action in Bassin's Black Bass takes place on two different screens. The lake map screen provides you with an overhead view of the boat on the lake, and the casting screen is where the actual fishing takes place. When it is time to weigh in, you must maneuver your boat back to the dock. The top three anglers will get special recognition.Product Identifiers

Bassin Black Bass
This game was a classic when I was a child growing up. Decided to pick it up for my 4 year old who is obsessed with fishing just like his dad and it entertains him just like it did me 20 years ago. We spent 3 hours straight fishing when I first received the game and what a way to relive your childhood then with a game that was ahead in its time when it comes to fishing. It's a must for anyone replaying the old games for Snes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
