THE BLACK BASS

Released by Hot-B in 1984, this title stands as a landmark work that pioneered the "fishing simulation" genre in the Japanese PC game market. By leveraging the graphic capabilities of the PC-8801, the game successfully captured the delicate sportsmanship and tactical nature of bass fishing within a programmed environment. More than just a game, its system recreated the serene atmosphere of the water's edge, establishing a foundation for all fishing games that followed. We invite you to experience this pioneering digital experiment from the early 1980s that pushed the boundaries of entertainment.

As an angler, you set out to a pristine, untouched lake in pursuit of the elusive giant black bass. You must strategically choose your location from various points and skillfully use a diverse array of lures to entice your target. When a big one bites, it becomes a tension-filled simulation where you must gauge the tension of the rod to carefully reel in your catch without snapping the line.
