Taking the shot: Galaxian / Big Sports 12

Epoch's post-launch titles for Cassette Vision maintain the momentum of its launch releases. That is to say, we have one game that involves swiping the creation of an arcade manufacturer, and one game that repurposes an earlier Epoch-made standalone console. But this time, each game comes with its own diabolical twist! For one thing, the unlicensed Galaxian may obviously steal its title (quite brazenly) from a Namco arcade hit, but it actually swipes its content from a completely different game by a different publisher! And while Big Sports 12 owes its existence to the Epoch System 10 dedicated console, its story goes a little deeper than that and ties into the very core of the Cassette Vision's being. You WILL believe a man can talk for nearly 20 minutes about two 1981 games that mostly consist of boxes moving around the screen.
