There are even a few total remakes and variations on the theme of which I have yet to investigate. The graphics, music and even characters all differ slightly between each version. Numerous versions of this game exist including the original classic on the Apple Mac, a decent MS-DOS version, Amiga and even a Japanese Famicom release.
Finally having beaten the intimidating reigning champion Biff Raunch, your name is written up on the board and you can rest your weary shufflepuck hand and wallow in the small measure of fame you have garnered in this most eclectic of cafes! Its kind of like a mixture of air hockey and Pong - like a more advanced version. I was never aware of it when it was actually released, but it apparently made it to Amiga, DOS, and even the NES.
#SHUFFLEPUCK CAFE FOR MAC FULL#
As the tournament progresses naturally the foes get tougher: yet each has his strengths and weaknesses (my favorite is the dapper crocodillian alien who starts the match playing at his full abilities but is increasingly confounded by his love for space maritinis). I just discovered this game published by the venerable Brøderbund after picking up a Mac Classic II. If at first it seems strange that shuffle puck has survived in its original form so far into the future your doubts will be obliterated as you get embroiled in your opening tournament match against Chip (the nebbish goof who seems alarmingly out of place.perhaps he is having an "After Hours" sort of night), the joy of viciously rocketing a rubber puck in the direction of his milksop personage is truly one of the highlights this digital era has to offer. The place is buzzing, in a feat of blithe anachronism an obliging cyborg chalks up the tournament hopefuls on the blackboard and there is still room for one last entrant! Who would have guessed the night would turn out like this! "What the hell!", pushing open the door you are assailed by swanky 8bit bistro music, a menagerie of characters, whose business is probably split between here and Moss Eisley and a gleaming shuffle puck board commanding pride of place in the center of the room.
