BassDuel is a fishing game that can be played by two players simultaneously. Both players fish from the same boat, just like in real tournament fishing. Even if you’ve never been fishing in your life, you will find BassDuel both educational and fun to play. The game has three skill levels from which to choose, and a special PRACTICE mode. The game requires two input devices when two anglers are playing. A single person can play as well. It will work using the keyboard and a mouse, the keyboard and a joystick, or a mouse and a joystick. Using both a mouse and a joystick causes the game to slow down a bit, so this set up is recommended only for fast computers, like 386 or 486 based machines. Player #1 (sometimes referred to as the BOATER) is automatically assigned use of the mouse if there is one, while player #2 (sometimes called the PARTNER) will be assigned the keyboard. If you are using a joystick, player #1 will be assigned the keyboard (or mouse) and player #2 will use the joystick. If you do not have a mouse or joystick, you can only play BassDuel in the single player mode.
You’ve got a modern, fully rigged bass boat at your command. Aboard the boat you’ll find six different fishing rods at your disposal, over 2300 lure/color combinations, a nifty LCD depth finder, a trolling motor, and lots of other accessories. With the powerful outboard motor, you can zip to the far end of the lake, or scoot back to the weigh in area before the six hour time limit expires. Better wear your life jacket though! If you’re good enough (or lucky) you might even catch a fish big enough to be engraved upon the BassDuel HONOR ROLL PLAQUE where the top ten fish are listed. If you’re REALLY lucky, you might land BIG BERTHA, a giant bass that inhabits each of the lakes. She is a finicky gal, but well worth the effort. Those who catch her will be awarded a special certificate (you’ll need a printer for this) which, if filled in with her correct weight, can be sent it to the author for a free copy of another program disk (you must be a REGISTERED USER!).
BassDuel comes complete with six different fishing areas from which to choose. Other lakes are available that can expand your choice of lakes (see the file ORDERFRM.TXT on your disk). If you already own BASSTOUR, its lakes will also work with BassDuel and visa versa. Lakes created for Bass Class can also be used with BassDuel. BassDuel will support up to 50 different lakes. Head-to-head competition against your partner and 30 of the top names in bass fishing!

Another thing that really makes BassDuel enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to BassDuel. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
