Tired of hyperwarping from space sector to space sector? Weary of jumping and shooting bizarre creatures to rescue some ungrateful princess? Well, get away for it all with a little relaxing bass fishing at a cool, tranquil lake.

The Video Game Critic

Occasionally a fish will leap clear out of the water, accompanied by a completely inappropriate "boiiiing!" sound effect. Once you finally net a fish, it's exciting to watch the scale tally its weight. The game keeps track of your catches as you advance the ranks, and a password feature lets you save your process. If you've played any modern fishing games, Black Bass can be hard to stomach. There's almost nothing to see and you can't shut off the horrible background music (not to be confused with the fine title screen tune). The years have not been kind to this game, but its sequel "The Blue Marlin" has fared much better.
