Chapter 167 Ninja Baseball

Baseball is definitely a hurdle that cannot be avoided in the game category, especially for American and Japanese game manufacturers.

However, that is only playing baseball from the perspective of sports competitive games.

But if you want to talk about "playing baseball" and beating baseball like a monster, then it must be "Ninja Baseball" produced by IREM.

Captain Red, Short Green, Fat Yellow, and Thin Blue constitute the four player-controllable protagonists of "Ninja Baseball", and all of them use baseball bats of different sizes to fight.

Of course, this is just a stereotype created by players including Luke. In fact, the Short Green is the No. 1 player in the team, the Thin Blue is No. 2, the Captain Red is No. 3, and the Fat Yellow is No. 4.

The four optional characters are different in terms of moves, performance, attributes, and special moves.

I guess the majority of people in the arcade back then would try to grab the "Short Green" as long as they could play Ninja Baseball, just like Luke.

After all, the green dwarf holding two short sticks, flying into the sky, and using his feet to release a series of lightning baseballs to electrocute the enemy into charcoal does look cooler than other characters.

Not only in the past, even in modern times, this kind of arcade game can already achieve online battles, and with the efforts of more masters, the strengths of the other three characters have been thoroughly developed. For ordinary passers-by who just want to play a game to reminisce about their youth, the green dwarf is definitely the most used and easiest character to pass.

At this time, the baseballs in front of Luke, which should be beaten by the bat and are bigger than humans, and have grown mechanical hands, feet and human eyes, are the classic monster units in this game.

Pure baseball robots are good at physical attacks, have very powerful fists, and can also roll and impact.

Luke immediately covered it with a damage curse. The plug-in information immediately popped up on the head of the baseball monster who had just knocked the three guards away and raised his mechanical arm to show off his power, and his eyes were bent into crescents.

[Baseball Robot (lv19) (Ordinary Monster) (HP 98%) (Rune Level 2) (Resistance: Poison Resistance 75%)]

[Monster Features: None]

Level 19! ?

This strength is probably not something that most regular E-level monsters can easily deal with. At least D-level monsters are needed to fight it as painlessly as possible.

The baseball robot, which had just been attacked by a regular flamethrower from the guards and had lost 2% of its HP, suddenly shuddered in a very human way, and tried to touch the damage-increasing curse mark hanging on its head with a confused look on its face, looking not very smart.

Then, a long bone tooth pierced its eye fiercely.

The baseball robot, whose HP dropped a little, immediately covered its eyes and screamed in pain, while the other intact eye was searching frantically, and soon found Comrade Luke, the instigator.

But just as it curled up into a ball and wanted to use the baseball chariot on Luke, sister Feng came down from the sky, carrying the cyclone wrapped all over her body and directly knocked the baseball away before it could speed up.

Feng was already quite skilled in protecting Luke.

And the baseball robot individual that was knocked away by Feng, who had already accepted the identity of the female tengu, was actually lying on the spot, with several small baseballs spinning at high speed on its head, representing the special effects of being in a dizzy state, echoing the damage deepening curse.

The colorful scenes of Ninja Baseball and the characterization of both the enemy and us are very typical of the exaggerated American comic style.

The enemies who don’t look very smart and funny are the kind of existence that will very cruelly hammer, break up, freeze the player’s controlled characters into ice sculptures, and then directly smash them into bloody corpses.

This is mainly because when this game was made, it was the American branch of IREM that gave the character design plan.

At that time, the arcade version of Ninja Turtles was very popular, and four mutant Ninja Turtles were rampaging on the same screen, so this game mixed ninja elements with elements of up to four people fighting on the same screen.

The producer was also a baseball fan, so baseball elements were mixed in.

Perhaps the producer, whose head was stuck in the door, wanted to take advantage of Batman's popularity, so the big word "bat man" appeared in the translated name of the American version of Ninja Baseball sold in North America...

When the dizzy special effect appeared on the monster's head, it was a good time to whip the corpse.

Luke, who replaced the head of the embalmed with the Eagle Magic Orb, began to release hellfire, and the baseball robot that fell to the ground immediately began to bleed piece by piece.

In addition to Luke and others, some brave men had already arrived at the scene in advance, but the number and types of monsters had also increased significantly.

There is a kind of advanced baseball robot with a black spherical body and more decorations on it. It is like a car mechanic, fighting with metal wrenches and hexagonal wrenches in its hands.

Just looking at the size and material of these wrenches, you can tell that the striking force is very amazing, so many non-power-type heroes have to avoid their sharp edges and dare to only keep a distance to output.

Generally speaking, heroes with considerable strength will lack agility to some extent, so there are almost no power-type heroes among the heroes who rush to the battlefield first...Except for Luke, the thin dog.

But when it seemed that no brave warriors dared to confront them within reach, the round backs of these wrench baseballs suddenly opened, and a giant wrench larger than the body emerged directly from it, and one turned and fixed in front of the body, the wrench.

The crackling electric light spread from the giant wrench, as terrifying as a live electric saw that was still running.

And the wrench baseball with such a live giant wrench began to rush towards the place where the brave warriors gathered not far away!

The momentum was fierce... but the speed was not fast.

The brave warriors, who were originally based on agility, were able to dodge it relatively easily.

But just when their attention was all focused on the charging monster with the electric wrench, a small group of new monsters landed from the sky behind them.

This is a group of large baseball glove-shaped robot monsters with human faces on the palms of their hands and able to walk upright.

Just like the essence of baseball gloves used to catch balls, these glove robots are best at "catching".

Pink tongues suddenly popped out of their wide-open mouths, tied directly to the waists of the heroes who were caught off guard, and pulled them back into their mouths!

Chewing! Biting! The glove monster was wantonly attacking the unlucky guy in its mouth!

But at this moment, the sky, which had already turned black, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Before the heroes and monsters present could react, a large number of purple sky thunders had already struck heavily.

All of them were directed at the monsters!

The monsters hit by the thunder suddenly had comic-style electric shock effects, the kind that showed the internal mechanical skeletons.

The heroes who were originally under pressure because of the unexpected strength of these weird-looking monsters were immediately rescued.

It was just that the hero in the glove monster's mouth was a little unlucky, and was severely electrocuted while being rescued.

Looking at his own results, Ji Feng silently drank a bottle of healing potion through his belt.
