I have only had this game for a couple of days so I don't have too much to say yet.
What I can tell you is that it is a fun & hard to find NES game. You start off as a novice fisherman. The deal is to catch as many fish as you can; the game is enviromently correct and it will not let you keep a small bass.
If yo dig button mashing games like Track and Field, then yo will like Black Bass. Choose your lure, your spot on the lake and start fishing for the big one. When a fish hits, then start mashing the buttons and hang on for the fight of your life. After you get the hang of it in novice mode you can move to pro. You have to start off as a beginner in order to get a code that will allow you into the pro mode.
The control is great, the graphics are good but the sound is so so at best. For all of the crap that I went through to get this game I was a little disapointed. Don't get me wrong Black Bass is decent game but it's far from being the best. Out of all of the systems, many people choose the original NES Black Bass over all the others, and thats why its hard to find.
