Ballblazer

Ballblazer is a computer game from 1984 that was developed by Lucasfilm Games (later LucasArts Entertainment). It was originally released for the Atari 8-bit systems, such as the Atari 800 and the Atari 5200. It was also ported to other platforms popular at the time, such as the Apple II, the ZX Spectrum (by Dalali Software Ltd), the Amstrad CPC, the Commodore 64, the Atari 7800 and the NES. The version for the Atari 800 was called Ballblaster during development - pirated versions of the game also bore this name. The main developer and programmer of Ballblazer was David Levine. In 1990, LucasArts and Rainbow Arts released a remake and sequel of this game called Masterblazer. This game was released for the Amiga, Atari ST and PC DOS. A similar game inspired by Ballblazer called Space Football: One on One was developed by Triffix and released for the Super NES in 1992. Years later, on March 31, 1997, a remake of the original called Ballblazer Champions was released for the Sony PlayStation.
