ElectroBall - Atari 2600

Mount up in your Power Sphere on the field to compete against another person or an AI drone of selectable difficulty. With five different selectable A.I. skill levels, you can even have two AI drones play against each other and cheer them on from the stands. Whoever scores the most goals within the time limit (or sudden death playoff in case of tie) wins! Play one of four seasonal variations (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) to find out who truly is the ElectroBall champion!

Gameplay

At the beginning of the game, the ElectroBall will be randomly shot to one of the players. Move downfield and fire the ElectroBall into the opposing goal for a point. After a goal is scored, players are reset and the ElectroBall is fired to the player who did not score last. Whoever has the most points when the game clock reaches zero will win the game. If the game is tied when the game clock reaches zero, the game will enter sudden death, where the first player to score a goal will win. There is also a "mercy" rule for longer games, where the first player to score 99 goals will win the game.
