Our Project

We’re going to replicate the 1994 Windjammers game developed and published by DataEast as a tribute to the game. This project has been done by five catalan students of CITM - UPC (Terrasa, Spain).

About the Game

Windjammers is a 1vs1 sport game arcade, where different styles of sports are mixed (frisbee, volleyball and handball). Mainly, the sport that was based on this game was frisbee. The player has the function of using his character to throw the frisbee towards the opposite field and make the frisbee contact with the ground or pass out of the opposite side.
