The Black Bass NES cartridge is a 1989 fishing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System from Hot-B. It was the first Black Bass game released outside Japan. You get the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The Black Bass was released in North America in September 1989, published by Hot-B. It is a single-player bass fishing game. In Japan it is known as The Black Bass II, and the North American title screen reads The Black Bass USA.
You fish your way through bass tournaments at four lakes. Each day you need to bring in enough bass, with a high enough average weight, to move on. The action is shown from an overhead view. A power meter sets how hard you cast, and you have to reel with care so the line does not snap.
After each tournament, the game gives you a password, so you can pick up your progress later. In 2016 the game was re-released on the Retro-Bit Generations console.
Watch the power meter before every cast, since it decides how far your lure goes. When a bass bites, do not reel too hard or the line can break. Write down each password as soon as a tournament ends. This is a standard NES cartridge for the original Nintendo Entertainment System and other consoles built for NES cartridges. Check the listing photos for the exact label of the copy you will receive.
