One of several classic LucasFilm Games released for 8-bit home computers, Ballblazer is a futuristic take on one-on-one soccer played with vehicles and weapons. Players jump into the cockpit of a hovering craft used for playing the sport. Set on a flat 3D checkerboard the size of a football stadium, the two opposing crafts try to chase down an energy ball known as a Plasmorb, attach it to their craft and drive or shoot it into the goal. Crafts can also knock into each other to make the other player drop the Plasmorb. The game offers matches against an AI-controlled drone or two-player versus in split-screen mode.
