Voi jumpe miten hienosti ja sulavasti tämä pyörii. Teknisestä kulmasta katsottuna Ballzlazer on suorastaan hämmästyttävä.

Pelivatkain 125 - Ballblazer oli Lucasfilm Gamesin näkemys tulevaisuuden vauhdikkaasta futiksesta

We showed this video at the 1984 press conference announcing our first two games, #RescueOnFractalus and #ballblazer. First part has no visuals, we didn’t want to confuse people by mixing game imagery with PR footage. We held the event at the famous Kerner C building theater adjacent to ILM #gamedev

@TimOfLegend @DavidBFox @Gamrok @thatdave @grumpygamer I remember when that photo of me was taken, a magazine article about our first games #RescueOnFractalus and #Ballblazer. They wanted me to really *lean* into it.

I just had an amazing time with my #Atari XE. I'm watching our 2 year old daughter while my wife goes to a doctors appointment. Usually, she cries whenever her momma leaves, but today I fired up #Ballblazer I downloaded from #FujiNet and we "played catch" for over 20 minutes (which is about 2 hours in 2 year old attention span). It was so much fun! #retrogaming #parenting

@ChrisBauer George Lucas wasn’t a video game player. I doubt he played Labyrinth. The only two games he gave feedback on were #RescueOnFractalus and #Ballblazer. I also don’t think he was very involved in the production of Labyrinth the movie, but no idea if that’s accurate.
