Windjammers 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to Data East’s frisbee-tossing arcade classic, with hand-drawn 2D animation.

Windjammers originally released on Neo Geo in 1994, gifting the world its raucously entertaining multiplayer take on brutal competitive frisbee action. Playing out something like Pong meets Street Fighter (as Martin Robinson put it in his Essential Windjammers review), the goal is to pelt a frisbee into your opponent’s net until you have enough points to win.
