We showed this video at the 1984 press conference announcing our first two games, #RescueOnFractalus and #ballblazer. First part has no visuals, we didn’t want to confuse people by mixing game imagery with PR footage. We held the event at the famous Kerner C building theater adjacent to ILM #gamedev

@TimOfLegend @[email protected] @Gamrok @thatdave @grumpygamer I remember when that photo of me was taken, a magazine article about our first games #RescueOnFractalus and #Ballblazer. They wanted me to really *lean* into it.

I just had an amazing time with my #Atari XE. I'm watching our 2 year old daughter while my wife goes to a doctors appointment. Usually, she cries whenever her momma leaves, but today I fired up #Ballblazer I downloaded from #FujiNet and we "played catch" for over 20 minutes (which is about 2 hours in 2 year old attention span). It was so much fun! #retrogaming #parenting

@ChrisBauer George Lucas wasn’t a video game player. I doubt he played Labyrinth. The only two games he gave feedback on were #RescueOnFractalus and #Ballblazer. I also don’t think he was very involved in the production of Labyrinth the movie, but no idea if that’s accurate.

@vwbusguy What a game!
Did you know there's Ballblazer Champions for the original Playstation? It's like Rocket League before Rocket League. Quite a different game from the orig.

@Newmy If you want to see the source of that initial sound for the remix, here's the original #Ballblazer press video we created to introduce the game to the press in 1984. https://www.electriceggplant.com/ballblazer.html

@Newmy #Ballblazer was an amazing game. I shared an office with its designer/programmer Dave Levine while he was creating it and I was working on #RescueOnFractalus. How he got 60fps on an Atari 800 to create the 3D effect still blows my mind.
When we first showed it to the press, some were looking under the table for a laserdisc player. They couldn't believe a home computer could manage this.
