''Windjammers'' (or ''Flying Power Disc'' in UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}) is a SportsGame developed by Creator/DataEast in 1994 for use on the UsefulNotes/NeoGeo. It is a fast-paced game of frisbee, but with special moves and the ability to score goals, à la ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' or air hockey. It features six unique characters with equally unique abilities from many countries in the world to see who is the best of the best. Ever since Website/GiantBomb played it on their Extra Life 2013 livestream, [[ColbertBump the game has skyrocketed in popularity]], leading to a re-release of the game by Dotemu on the Platform/PlayStation4 and Platform/{{PlayStation Vita}} in 2017, and Platform/NintendoSwitch the year after.
