Ballblazer - Atari 7800

This is probably more of a two player game, so take the fact that I play most games alone into consideration when I say, I'm not a particularly huge fan of this. The basic idea is, you take control of one of two robot things on a giant chessboard thing, grab a metal ball and fire it into a moving goal. In practice, what this means is

1. Wonder wtf is going on
2. Look for the ball for a while then fail miserably until it randomly appears on the screen
3. Move in random directions until you see the moving goalposts then fire it in, feeling a complete lack of achievement for having done so considering the CPU controlled robot is probably about six miles away

Looks nice, moves smoothly but the game itself is somewhat lost on me. Worth picking up if you see a complete copy floating around and play with others - if not, I wouldn't bother.

Score: 2 / 5
