Balloon Fight-e is an e-Reader game released in 2002. The game is a port of the Nintendo Entertainment System video game Balloon Fight and was part of the initial batch of classic NES ports for the e-Reader. The player could play the game by scanning five cards, each one with two barcodes excluding the fifth one, which only had one.. When the game was first released, it cost a suggested retail price of $4.99, though as the e-Reader lost momentum the price dropped in many stores. This game is also identical to the japan-only Famicom Mini: Balloon Fight.

How to play Hop aboard your balloon and try to burst an enemy's balloon. Hit the enemy from above and send it into the drink below.

Strike again as the enemy floats down or it will return with a stronger attack. Watch for enemy bubbles rising out of the sea and pop them for extra points!

Flying with only one balloon is difficult, so guard your balloons carefully! If both balloons pop, you'll fall into the water and lose a life. Fall into the water three times and your game is over.
