Sqoon reminds me a lot of Seaquest, another submarine game for the Atari 2600 I showcased. I wonder how many other submarine shooters there are. It seems to be an untapped genre.
Not sure how many submarine shooters there are, but there is a Hunt for Red October NES game coming up. Pretty sure it’s not a shoot-em-up or a good game, for that matter.
I mean, Power Pads go for about $30 on eBay, surely the Gen-X/Millennial parents wouldn't mind forking over that money to see their kids exercising on some functional ancient tech.

Someone needs to make a submarine stealth game and call it Dive! Dive!.
Star Voyager seems like Elite but somehow even more boring and tedious, a true technical achievement for the NES.
Haven't played Elite, but if it's anything like Star Voyager, I'll definitely pass.
I would pay good money to see the kids I coach go head to head in Stadium Events on barely responsive game pads.
Repeating my vote that we need to incorporate more game pad games into the modern gaming era.

Leaving the fate of your Switch 2 to the whims of Nintendo was a very zen decision. Well done. Namaste.
I care, but I don't care at the same time.
Sqoon is interesting. Best word for it.
As for World Class Track Meet and the Power Pad… yeah, seems like most kids did what you did and just cheated. Not surprising.
Did you have any other games for the Power Pad?
The Power Pad does feel like a strange blip in time. Nintendo really wanted it to do well and it sold respectably, but not gangbuster Wii Fit numbers.
Super Team Games, if I recall correctly, was the best Power Pad game and it's not even close. Not surprised you got the most mileage out of that one.
Street Cop a C-?
Must have been feeling generous that day...
I remember the game not working well and that's about it.
Thanks for sharing your memories!
