The highest I saw in there once was 10,000 credz. And there’s a slot machine-like card flipping where you can win extra credz. There are “mini-quests” which are part of an almost story arc with each character that come with larger cash bonuses. With the average game earning you 200 – 300 credz, it’ll take you a bit to get there. However, to buy all of a character’s 19 biography parts, you’ll need nearly 9,000 “credz” (the in-game currency). As such, it retains some of its grindy F2P mobile game elements.

You see, Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe is a PC port of an iOS and Android game. Now, you have to earn 13 replacement parts for your broken spaceship by buying biographies of the patrons at the Shufflepuck Cantina. In the original, you had to beat all eight patrons consecutively in a “tournament” in order to be allowed to phone a spaceship repair service (sort of an interstellar AAA). First to a specified number of points wins. The idea is to use your mallet (called your paddle in Cafe) to hit the puck into the other players goal.

In Shufflepuck Cantina, as in Shufflepuck Cafe, your spaceship breaks down and the only place for miles is a small establishment where the patrons are very fond of an air hockey-esque game they call shufflepuck.

Fortunately, Shufflepuck Cantina didn’t stop at recreating the original in colour but added some depth to the original. So when I saw this homage to the original Shufflepuck Cafe pop up on Steam, I had to pick it up, if only for nostalgia’s sake. I may have poured more hour into that game during my childhood than anything on my NES. It might have been in black and white but the graphics looked fine, it had sound (which was a rarity on that computer) and it was just fun to play. Sure, there were other games on there but nothing quite captured my attention like Shufflepuck. The first video game that I remember playing was Shufflepuck Cafe on my dad’s old Macintosh SE.
