Black Bass: Lure Fishing ハイパーブラックバス (Hyper Black Bass) is a 1992 video game for the Game Boy, which was ported to the North American and European Game Boy Color in 1999.
There are only two lakes to fish at and a limited set of lures; unlike the Super NES video game Super Black Bass.[3] Casting is done on an overhead view with a meter for the direction and another meter for the shadow of the fish.[3] Trout, pike, catfish, and the infamous black bass can all be caught in this game.[3]
The Game Boy Color version allows players to play against 99 AI-controlled fishermen.[4] Tournament hours are twelve non-real time hours long and all locations are fictional.[4] Each game originally came with a 40-page instruction manual and a precautions booklet.[4] Both versions of the game notify players when they have lost their lure and/or their fish through a text-based message. Once a player runs out of a certain kind of fishing lure, it cannot be recovered until the next gameplay.
