  Balloon Fight - MobyGames
In Balloon Fight you need to fly around with the aid of two balloons and try to pop your opponents balloons before they pop yours.
Landing on top of your opponents will cause their balloon to pop and they will use a parachute to fall to safety.
There is also a second game variation called "balloon trip" where you need to collect as many balloons as possible while avoiding the ocean below and lightning which forms maze like walls.

 Balloon Fight (Famicom Mini 13) 1UP - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Balloon Fight for NES, sadly enough, lacked the surreal inventiveness of Midway's hit, but it copied the gameplay to a T. The Famicom Mini update is in turn a perfect copy of the NES game, and all but the graphics remain the same.
The two-player mode of Balloon Fight is perfectly enjoyable, but it lacks these occasional appeals to the gamer's dark side and as a result comes off as being slightly flatter than its inspiration.
Balloon Fight is an entertaining diversion which will admittedly appeal mostly to fans of the game (or of Joust), but the gentle learning curve, simple but engrossing gameplay and two-player mode make it easy to pick up and enjoy.
