Airball

Overview

The player begins every round atop inflating stations. These inflating stations, which are scattered throughout the arenas, also act as checkpoints. Remaining atop an inflating station for too long will cause the player to burst. A bar gauge at the bottom of the screen allows the player to monitor their air level.

Originally planned for release by Tengen in 1990 but cancelled along with several other titles when Tengen abandoned publishing for the system in the wake of the infamous Tetris lawsuit. Several prototypes surfaced over the years with the presumed completed version being given an "official" cartridge release by Retrozone in 2007.
