Hamster is adding Taito's 1980 shooter Balloon Bomber to its Arcade Archives lineup this week. The title, a slow-paced early arcade game about popping balloon-carrying bombers, is described as a modest addition compared to previous releases. Commenters are noting it is unrelated to the Kirby villain of the same name, joking about the absent Major Kong reference.
Why now: The retro re-release was just announced for Arcade Archives, prompting nostalgia and jokes among retro gaming fans.
