The Whole New Ball Game is a remake of a old spectrum game which was orginally written by Pete Cooke in 1989 for Crash Magazine. I use to play this along with all the Dizzy games the most about 10 years ago on my spectrum. So I thought I would rewrite it on the PC so I (and others) can carry on playing it. I think I have keep it exactly the same apart from the fact that you can use the mouse instead of the keyboard, which does make it a hell of a lot easier! How to play - (taken straight from Crash Magazine - Issue 66) The object is to capture yellow energy pills by rolling a ball over them. The ball heads off around the screen under its own power and you can only control the ball's path by placing and removing gates to deflect its course by 90 degrees. Each screen must be cleared of energy pills before the time limit expires. Watch out for other objects called effectors which may speed up the ball, change its path or generally muck it about. The notion is very easy to grasp, but playing Ball Game is a different matter. You should be able to clear the first few screen, on easy level, after just a few goes... but it gets harder! The screen designer is simple to use, and self-explanatory. If you want to try out your created level before saving it, just use the game as a screen A and play the game. It's all incredibly wonderful! Or should that be wonderfully incredible... ? The Whole New Ball Game is freeware so keep it, play it lots and pass it on to whoever you want.
