@a2_4am @ianoid Man, do I love Airball. It was my favorite game on the Atari ST for a while back in 1986.

I have an extremely rare, boxed Apple IIgs version (port done by Jason Harper, who I got this boxed copy from). I interviewed him about it in on my blog. He was ready and willing (and urging) to make a IIgs port of the wonderful Time Bandit, but Michtron / MicroDeal was just floundering and unfocused at the time, it seems.

And finally, here are some screenshots of Airball on other computers.

In order: DOS (EGA), DOS (CGA), Atari 8-bit and Dragon 32/64, which is the very first version of the game! (entirely developed by Edward Scio)

And a few years ago, I discovered that there was an Amiga version.

To my great surprise, an intro and new music were added! 🎶

Airball Out Now on #NES and #GameBoyAdvance

Airball was released for the Dragon 32/64 and TRS-80 Color Computer in 1987. It was programmed by Ed Scio, with graphics by Pete Lyon and music by Paul Shields.

The version for NES was previously cancelled, so it’s exciting to have this game released more than 30 years later.

The version for Game Boy Advance will feature enhanced graphics. Each version will contain a box replicating the original artstyle
