Introduce
Jimmy Houston's Bass Tournament USA on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is a fishing simulation game that provides a realistic experience of this sport. Players take on the role of an angler participating in bass fishing tournaments across the USA. Gameplay focuses on selecting the appropriate fishing rod and bait for each type of fish and location.
Location Selection: The game offers various fishing locations, each with unique characteristics in terms of fish species, terrain, and weather. Players need to thoroughly research the location to choose the appropriate fishing strategy.
Rod and Bait Selection: Choosing the right fishing rod and bait is crucial. Each type of fish will have different preferences for bait, and the fishing rod must also have the appropriate strength and sensitivity. Mistakes in this selection can lead to losing fish or damaging the rod.
Time Management: Players need to manage their time effectively to complete the tournament tasks. Fishing time is limited, and finding ideal fishing spots also takes time.
Competition: Players will compete against other anglers in tournaments. The angler who catches the most fish and has the highest total score will win.
The game's graphics are quite simple by today's standards, but still sufficient to recreate the vibrant scenery of the fishing locations. The sound is also quite good, with vivid sound effects when catching fish.
