Ballblazer is a sports game that was also ported to the Atari 7800 in 1988.
+ Brilliant scoring system to keep the competition tense, ranging from 1-3 points depending on your distance from the goal.
+ Has some clever ways to outwit your foe, such as swerving the ball and using the boundary to your advantage.
+ Two-player mode is the highlight and shooting the winning goal when the posts are at their narrowest is euphoric.
+ Bass-heavy intro music rocks, and there's some innovative audio cues to signal when you can blast an opponent.
- Camera alternates between two angles and it can be very disorientating when it suddenly moves to a side-view.
- While there's nine CPU skill levels, it's a shame a Tournament mode wasn't implemented to prolong play sessions.
