Squash (World, ver. 1.0, checksum 015aef61)

Gaelco’s Squash, released in 1992, offers a two-player recreation of the fast-paced racquet sport. Players use an eight-way joystick and two buttons to control their athlete, aiming to strike the ball against the front wall while attempting to prevent their opponent from doing the same. The game features graphics by Esteve Polls and Xavi Fradera, and is powered by a Motorola 68000 processor and an OKI6295 sound chip. Gameplay involves strategic positioning and quick reflexes as players volley the ball back and forth across the court. Successfully hitting the ball within the designated scoring zones earns points, while errors or failing to return the shot concede advantage to the opponent. Directed by Luis Jonama and featuring software by Alexander Ekjanov, Squash delivers a straightforward sporting challenge for two competitors. The game’s simple controls and direct presentation make it an accessible experience for players of all skill levels looking for a competitive sports title.
