This very much deserves it's own thread (Ballz3D related)

[Erik_Twice]

Wikipedia told me today that Ballz3D, the materpiece game, was not alone in it's ballz-inspired gameplay.

Apparently the company also made "Oddballz", "Dogz" and "Catz" (Yes, those games nowpublished by Ubisoft) which are about virtual pets made of ballz. Oh and Babyx, which aren't made of Ballz and thus are not relevant to the thread.

Just think of the collector's value of these things.


Wikipedia's article dedicates, well, the article to what "PF Magic" means. Since they are the creators of those technical marvels it's important to check it out.

One of PF Magic's earliest efforts was the 1994 video game Ballz published by Accolade. The innovative game featured main characters composed completely of spheres.

Well, good thing the wiki article doesn't appear to have been written by someone who was in the company.

I keep thinking of something older from 1987...
