Holly & Benji (Captain Tsubasa) videogame

This weekend has been very long for me. I am home because of a little injury I had during the week playing soccer. Nothing serious, but my friends are mocking me about it, and I was mailing with one of them a video of an old cartoon I used to watch when young (well, all my generation did): in Europe it is known as Holly and Benji, the original manga title is Captain Tsubasa.

There are a lot of funny video in internet, because the cartoon broke the rule of physics and a whole generation has been affected. Time and space were two concepts that the cartoon designers did not take in consideration! Infinite flashbacks were typical in that cartoon and some of theme used to last for two or three episodes!!

You could ask, what has the cartoon dealing with games? Well, it has since thanks to Youtube (and those friends who are joking about my condition!) I was able to find out that several games were developed about this theme. In particular there is the one for NES that I regret I never played...



More than a sport game it seems to be a mix beetween strategy, RPG and adventure. I do not see any flashback there, but rule of physics are broken as well as in the cartoon with players jumping and giving impossible effects to the baloon.
