Play Shufflepuck Cafe (Japan) [En by MadHacker v1.0] Online

Shufflepuck Cafe is this weirdly charming NES air hockey game where you're not just playing against some random opponent—you're up against a whole cast of bizarre aliens. One minute you're trying to score past a smug war pig in sunglasses, the next you're getting wrecked by a grim reaper who clearly practices way too much.

The physics take a second to get used to (that puck has a mind of its own sometimes), but once it clicks, you'll be leaning into every shot like it's an actual table. The Martian's got this annoying curve shot that still gets me, and don't even get me started on the final boss. It's simple, but there's something about the character designs and that synth-heavy soundtrack that makes it stick in your head.

Just don't throw your controller when the Reaper starts laughing at you.
