Parents who want a kid-friendly first-person shooter for their PC need look no further than Hasbro Interactive's Nerf Arena Blast. Kids can roam eight unique arenas packing one of ten different Nerf blasters and duke it out against CPU-controlled players or up to 19 other kids over the internet or a LAN.
The game is set up like a sport. The story is that every year a group of six professional teams battles it out for supremacy in a Nerf-sanctioned league. This year they've decided to allow some amateurs to join them, but first there's a tournament among the amateur teams which will decide which of them joins the pro league for a year. You get to choose from the four characters who make up the Twisters team and accompany them in their quest to win the amateur competition and face off against the pros.
There are four levels of difficulty in this game. Once you select one, you're off for some training sessions to get yourself acquainted with the game and the equipment. An energy suit and a blaster are standard issue for all recruits. Hits inflicted by other players and damage caused by falls impact the suit's energy level; if it falls to zero, you must re-enter the game from another place. You can pick up powerups scattered around the arena to recharge lost energy.
Other powerups include ammo upgrades to scattershots, rockets and mini-discs as well as personal upgrades to better suits, extra blaster damage, megaspeed and megajump.
There are three events to choose from. In PointBlast you score points for hitting targets as well as other players; the one with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. In SpeedBlast, the goal is to touch seven colored flags in order and be the first one to do it. Finally, BallBlast is a lot like a scavenger hunt in which you must collect seven colored balls and shoot them into special goals. Points are awarded depending on the ball's color and the goal's difficulty; again, the one with the most points wins.
The arenas include one built in a grove of giant sequoia trees, another in a space station orbiting the Earth, one which sits among the towering skyscrapers of New York City, and one which is buried deep at the bottom of the ocean. The final game of the season is played in the Championship Arena, which seats 200,000 fans and has full television coverage.
Let the games begin!

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
