Rock 'n' Ball (USA)

Rock 'n' Ball is a unique game for the NES console that blends classic pinball with billiards. Players will experience two primary modes, each offering distinct challenges and gameplay styles.

In Pinball Mode, you control the flippers to keep the ball in play and score points by hitting various targets, flashing lights, and obstacles on the table. Each pinball table features a distinct design with its own traps, ramps, and hidden objectives to discover. The game offers multiple pinball table levels, each presenting unique challenges and layouts. Power-ups can appear, granting score multipliers, multi-ball, or enhanced flipper power, leading to explosive and dramatic action.

The Billiards/Pool Mode is a variation of traditional billiards, but with a unique control scheme and perspective compared to typical NES pool games. Players must calculate the force and angle of their shots to sink the balls into pockets. This mode might require players to complete specific objectives, such as pocketing all balls within a certain number of shots, or simply aiming for the highest score.

The overall objective in Rock 'n' Ball is to achieve the highest possible score in both modes. The colorful graphics and lively music contribute to an engaging and entertaining experience. The game demands quick reflexes, good timing, and strategic thinking to succeed in every shot and ball control maneuver.
