CYBERBALL (NINTENDO NES)

Cyberball (Saibābōru) is an arcade video game released in 1988 by Atari Games. The game is a 7-a-side American football using robotic avatars of different speeds, sizes, and skills set in 2022. Originally released in arcades, Cyberball has been ported to multiple home consoles.

In 1988, Atari released the original Cyberball arcade game as a large cabinet with two monitors, each with two sets of controls for one or two players. Players on either side could play against computer opponents or head-to-head on opposing screens for up to four players. In 1989, Atari Games released a sequel to the original Cyberball in both the same large dual-monitor cabinet titled Tournament Cyberball 2072 as well as a standalone two-player cabinet titled Cyberball 2072. The sequel included an enhanced game that featured a single player refined moves and many other offensive plays and defensive formations, and modifies its setting in 2072. Several conversion kits were also shipped in 1989 to modify existing cabinets to Tournament Cyberball 2072 or 2-player Cyberball 2072 only.
