Now this is just an amazing video! This guy is playing Ballblazer an Atari 800 that has been modified into a laptop. Who else wants one of these? Drool...
The game is best described as a one-on-one, futuristic football match (instead of players you control rotofoils) which takes place on a giant 3D chessboard style grid with a split-screen. The gameplay was quite simplistic, but very exciting at the time. Both the graphics and the music were pretty awesome and the latter was algorithmically (better get the spell-checker out!) generated. This was definitely one of the better game releases from the 1980's. Ballblazer on the Atari 800 Ballblazer on the Commodore 64 (C64)
