Ballblazer gameplay on the Commodore 64

Ballblazer is a futuristic sports simulation game developed by Lucasfilm Games (now LucasArts) and released in 1984 for platforms like the Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, and later the NES. The game features a fast-paced, one-on-one competition where players control hovercraft-like vehicles called Rotofoils, battling in a high-tech arena to score goals using a floating energy ball. The gameplay is simple yet intense, as players must intercept the ball, maneuver strategically, and shoot it between goalposts to earn points. Known for its smooth first-person 3D perspective, Ballblazer was one of the earliest games to feature real-time, split-screen multiplayer, enhancing its competitive appeal.
