Play Ball Jacks (Japan, Europe) Online
You and a friend control these clunky crab bots—one moves vertically, the other horizontally—grabbing at each other’s balls in a weirdly intense tug-of-war that always ends in shouting.
Game Overview
Ball Jacks is one of those weird, frantic Sega Genesis two-player games that feels like a mix of Pong and robot crab wrestling. You and a friend each control these blocky little crab bots—one moves up and down, the other side to side—and just go nuts trying to snatch each other’s balls with your claws. Sounds simple, but it gets chaotic fast when you’re both scrambling to defend your own while lunging for steals.
First time I played, I thought the vertical crab had an unfair advantage (turns out, nope—it’s just harder to judge distances). The controls are super responsive, which matters when you’re dodging at the last second. It’s the kind of game where you’ll yell at your friend for cheating even though nobody’s actually cheating. Perfect for short bursts of competitive chaos.
