Ballz 3D

Version
1.0
Ballz is a two player, 3D action, fighting game for
the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, the Super NES (SNES) and
the 3DO. It was developed by PF Magic and published by
Accolade in 1994. The 3DO version was released as a
director's cut in 1995. Ballz offered three difficulty
levels over a total of 21 matches. Its distinguishing
quality was that each of the characters were composed
completely of spheres, with a pseudo-3D look.
The game was also notably bizarre for its lineup of
fighters, which included a farting monkey, a clown, a
caveman, a ballerina, a rhinocerous, and a male
figureskater.
Some attribute the games poor performance in the
marketplace due to botched marketing. Accolade gave it
little print advertising, but even the ads it did for
the game gave little clue as to what type of game
Ballz was. One just had an image of a Christmas Tree
made of spheres and contained the caption "Tell your
mom you want Ballz for Christmas." The box of the game
