Trans-Atlantic Balloon Challenge

1987Virgin Games

About

In 1987, billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson attempted to cross the Atlantic in a hot air balloon. In the game, you are challenged to a race across the ocean in a hot air balloon, with the winner being the first to cross the Atlantic. You can play against a friend or the computer, but instead of controlling the balloon, you control an eagle with a laser sight that controls the balloon. It also has to defend itself against the other competitors' eagle or a biplane that drops various objects onto the balloon. Children also float around carried by balloons and you score points if you touch them or lose points if you kill them.
