Watch Atari 800 Ballblazer for Ballblazer by Lucasfilm Games.
Video Description
The first game that "Lucasfilm Games" (Lucasarts) released. I get my tail kicked by a level 5 droid cause I'm out of practice.
Early prototype versions, easily had at that time through the thriving Atari piracy scene, were titled "Ballblaster" and played about the same, but lacked a little bit of polish(no intro, lower framerates, no random melody on top of the bass riff, etc.)
