Cyberball for Sega Genesis is a futuristic sports video game combining American football with robotics. Its genre can be categorized as a sports arcade game with a sci-fi twist. Released in 1990, the game features 7-on-7 teams consisting of robots instead of human players. The traditional pigskin is replaced with a bomb that can explode if not passed or scored quickly enough, adding a layer of urgency to the gameplay. Players can upgrade their robots throughout matches to improve performance. The game can be played either single-player against the AI or multiplayer head-to-head.
