Crazy Power Disc Perfect (37.8Mb)
Crazy Power Disc Perfect is a Japanese air hockey/tennis clone where you get flying discs (think fast and high calibre Frisbees!) thrown at you by your opponent in this one or two player game. The game arena is very colorful and you’ll need quick reflexes to defeat your opponent. The aim is to catch and return discs and protect your own goal while scoring goals against the computer or your opponent. Multiple discs can be thrown on the higher difficulty levels with special attacks. There’s an easy, normal and hard mode, with the menus in English.
Each character has an array of executable moves that gives them a slight advantage when trying to score against the opposing player. First to score fifteen points wins the round.
There’s also an earlier version that plays very similarly just called Crazy Power Disc which may run on slower computers. This runs in a sizable window with lower resolution graphics.
The keyboard controls and menu navigation are slightly unusual. G = Whilst moving dash to catch disc / Throw disc / Enter (For Menu's), H = Jump (in menu change character 1P/2P select), C = Roll, J=special attack, W = Move Up, S = Move Down, A = Move Left , D = Move Right . Player 2 uses the ‘Arrow’ keys to move, 1=normal shot, 2=jump and 3=power shot (using keypad numbers). Gamepad use is supported, and in Crazy Power Disc Perfect there is a gamepad config file to set gamepad buttons. You have to confirm player selection for the second player with the 1= numberpad key before using the G key to start VS 2 player mode. There are 2 player characters in the demos and 8 in the full version.
Alt + Enter switches between sizable window or full screen modes. Esc key or Alt + F4 to exit, or exit via menu.
The game requires a modestly fast PC with 1.7GHz + cpu, which may preclude playing on some laptops/notebooks, though the earlier version is less cpu demanding. With a laptop for two players you’ll need to use Alt + F11 to set the alternate number keys (remember to reset to letter typing using the same key combination, with all windows minimised!)
Crazy Power Disc Perfect runs in XP, Vista and Win 7, and has really excellent graphics and super music/sound effects.
Although I’ve listed the demos, you can Google the game title and find full version, as the game’s author and publisher’s site is defunct; and game disks are no longer available even in Japan. I can’t post links here to some of the fuller versions downloads as though entirely legitimate and legal, they are hosted on file upload servers or P2P sites. I have one download link for a full version, but it is rather a slow download from there. If you Google for the file CPDP&MBB2.7z you should be able to find a file upload server that will give a much faster download. (Try the Hongfire.com link in Google).
You’ll need a full version to play properly with two players in VS mode as the demos only play in arcade single player mode or a restricted VS mode where you can’t move when holding the disc. You’ll also need a file decompressor program like WinRar or the free 7Zip for the full version in XP, and software for all Windows versions to burn the .cue file to disk, or a virtual drive mounter like Daemon Tools Lite to mount the .cue file as a virtual disk, from either of which you can install the full game. The demos will save disk space if you only want to play the arcade 1 player version or to try out before downloading the full version, and install direct from the downloads.
The graphics and some of the gameplay are very like some of the best Doujin fighting games.
It's like a NeoGeo Windjammers PC version and plays excellently. It really is lots of fun!
