  To this day the smell of east coast pizza makes me think of this game. Spent many quarters on it. The SNES version fueled many late night sleepovers.

  Interesting to learn that the AI had a slight jump on the player — created some compellingly difficult matches as the game wore on.

  The thing I love about old games is how tight they were — not much room for waste, and so the pieces fit together like a watch.
