The "Ultimate" Sports Fighting Game? - Windjammers

Windjammers is a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer game initially developed by Data East with origins tracing back to the 90's arcade era and a community that persists to this day.

Featuring two players facing off on a court, the goal is to accumulate points by sending the discus into the opponent's goal zone by any means necessary. From basic throws to flashy special moves, the game is simple to pick up for newcomers while also rewarding for veterans thanks to its high skill ceiling.

Despite its age, Windjammers has a dedicated competitive community that has kept the spirit of the game alive. With major milestones having been hit from being a part of EVO to having a sequel on the way in the form of Windjammers 2, this is the story of the world of Windjammers esports.
