About Bouncers
Arcade basketball game where YOU are the ball. You can't jump high enough on your own to go through the hoop, so you must bounce off other players. Supports up to four simultaneous players. There are eight characters to choose from, powerups (and powerdowns) that affect your speed and jumping ability. Games can turn into fighting matches of sorts, as players can kick each other to get their opponent in the air. With practice, you can learn to shoot three pointers and slam dunk yourself into the basket.

A cartoon basketball game in which the players are the ball, best enjoyed against another person.
Bouncers is a Sega CD-only basketball game published by Sega in North America in December 1994. Sega's own magazine described winning by bouncing on top of your opponent, running into him to launch a leap, or grabbing power-ups floating across the court, with 3-D rendered animation and a cast of bizarre characters. Each character is introduced by his own cartoon.
Electronic Gaming Monthly liked the graphics and cartoon sequences and found it entertaining, though more fun head-to-head against another person than against the computer. It takes one or two players.
What the press said at the time
| Next Generation Issue 3 | March 1995 | Rating: *** |
“Plain and simple, Bowicers is great fun. The idea isjruly funny, the graphics”
“It's goofy as hell, and a complete blast. However, it's such an odd concept for a game that it seems you either love it or hate it. Fortunately, we liked it.”
Before you buy
It came out only in North America, and the disc sits about at the middle of North American Sega CD games. Loose copies sell infrequently. Check that the case matches the game and the printed disc is clean.
