Cyberball  Sega (Tengen)1990Bash your way to the goal post in Cyberball, the national sport of the 21st century. Massive Robots grapple for yardage on this metal-crushing gridiron of the future. And when the action gets critical, the ball explodes!

Classic football tactics and plays burn up the field in a game too dangerous for referees. Penalties are passé! Your linemen are cyborg battering rams who only leave the game when their heads blow off!

Choose from over 100 plays to battle the charging defense. Apply Turbo Boost to push your offense to the limit. Then block a Quarterback sneak with one of 12 defensive formations. Or just plain blitz!

When Robots burst into flying debris, buy faster, tougher, meaner models. Speed the 350-pound bomb from kick off to touchdown! Take an end run into the future- and don't tumble!

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe Virgin (The Bitmap Brothers)1991Directly from the manual:

Welcome to the year 2100...
And to the only game in town: Speedball 2. The original game - which evolved from a barbaric street fracas - was phased out five years ago in 2095 due to widespread corruption. Now, with the creation of the Speedball Players' Association and the newly formed 16-team World Speedball League, Speedball 2 preserves the outrageous violence of the original game - the supreme factor of its universal appeal - in a radical 22nd-century arene setting where you can snap up extra points and power-charged weaponry.

Your team, Brutal Deluxe, is the League's doormat - sitting at the bottom of the WSL's Division 2. But now you're in charge - and an entire team's future rests in your hands...

Ball Jacks  Namco;Sega (Namco)1993Directly from the manual:

It is 7650 A.D., and the annual Ball Jacks World Championship is set to take place in the historic Grand Arena. Competitors and spectators from all over the galaxy have come to take part in, and bear witness to, this all-time sports spectacle!

This isn't a game for poor or weak-willed souls. The top "Jackers" had to sell all of their possessions in order to purchase their first Bot and tech team. Each of the elite Jackers has worked tirelessly on his or her game, perfecting every aspect of the sport.

As they achieved more and more success, they were able to upgrade to more durable/versatile Bots. In the 500 years since its inception, Ball Jacks has become the most widely-viewed sport in ultra-modern history!

You have a rare chance to participate in the World Championship against the best of the best! Before you challenge them, though, some practice is in order. You can work on your techniques and try them out in a Time Trial, or play against a friend and show off your skills! Ball Jacks - the future is now! Let's get started!
