BattleBall is essentially the game of soccer, played with military
|
|
vehicles rather than with people. Each player drives a tank or flies
|
|
a helicopter, and tries to move the ball down the playfield to the
|
|
other team's goal. In BattleBall, the teams' "goals" are their
|
|
headquarters buildings, positioned at the ends of the playfield.
|
|
Hitting another team's headquarters building with the ball scores a
|
|
point, knocking the building over in the process. Yes, realism was
|
|
my ultimate goal in this game.
|
|
|
|
Players are organized into teams. Up to six teams can play at once, and
|
|
teams may have any combination of human and computer players. All teams
|
|
compete on the playfield simultaneously. To reduce disorientation and
|
|
chaos, players' vehicles are painted with their team's colors, and
|
|
headquarters buildings are marked with their team's insignia.
