If regular old football games aren’t your cup of tea, then you might want to check out Cyberball for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Cyberball gives football quite an interesting spin. The teams consist of only seven players, and are robots instead of people. Rather than having downs, like in regular football, the ball is an explosive. You have to make it to midfield before the ball explodes! Once passé midfield, you must get a touchdown. The ball resets with a change of possession The ball heats up with each failed attempt to score or get to midfield. Robots wear down as they are tackled and can explode. If they have the ball upon exploding, that’s considered a fumble! You can use the money you earn to buy new parts for your robots that will last longer. Cyberball requires a good amount of strategy in order to play successfully. Be prepared for the most intense game of hot potato you’ve ever played!
