Ballblazer , a futuristic soccer-like game, has been a popular choice for gamers on the Commodore 64 . In the year 3037, the most competitive sport in the known universe is Ballblazer. For the first time ever, humans from the planet Earth have won the right to compete in the final round of the Ballblazer Championship, to fight for Earth's honor and the title Masterblazer! The game's objective is simple: kick a floating ball (Plasmorb) inside the opponent's goal (Goalbeams). A player may compete against a human or computer opponent. The Rotofoil, which the player controls, has a multi-purpose forcefield that can pull or push the Plasmorb to achieve goals.
The game requires strategy and quick reflexes as the Goldbeams move slightly every second and the distance between them will shrink. The highest scoring goals are goals made when Goldbeams have disappeared across the horizon (Over The Horizon/OTH shots). A player may also attempt to steal possession of a Plasmorb by rushing beside the opponent and blast the Plasmorb away. The game ends when time runs out or a player wins 10 consecutive goals. If the game ends in a draw, overtime will apply and the first player to score will win the game. Points can be scored by making close-in goals (1 point), goals near Goldbeams (2 points), Over The Horizon shots (3 points), and players may steal points from each other by making goals.
Gameplay is fast-paced and challenging, requiring players to think quickly and make precise movements with the Rotofoil's forcefield. With its unique blend of strategy and action, Ballblazer has become a classic in the world of retro gaming.
