Tournament Cyberball 2072 DescriptionA seven-on-seven football game played with robots instead of humans. Up to four people can select plays and attempt to either outscore the computer or each other. Scoring touchdowns awards money for upgrading robots.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe dedicated game was released in a dual monitor cabinet with each side supporting up to two players. There is a mirror mounted above the screens so that you can see the expressions of your opponent(s) during the game.Cheats, Tricks and BugsA two-player trick is to have your teammate pick a receiver and go out for a pass. While running have him/her hit the button and the receiver's arms will go up, yet you have not thrown the ball yet. The defender has more than likely used his thrust and is now vunerable! It is possible to max the game score as well as complete gamebreakers!ConversionThis game was released both as a dedicated machine and as an upgrade for the original Cyberball. The upgrade kit included ROMs and a special security chip called a "slapstick". This IC is required to convert original Cyberball to the Tournament Edition.Game IntroductionThis game can thought of as chess on a football field. The most unique feature of the game is the players; they are robots which move around on single and double track wheels, making the action smooth and fast. There are over 240 plays, including unique plays that are just for certain teams.If you don't want to play a full game, players can choose to compete in a Gamebreaker. Here you try to complete ten pages of plays while earning money for stats. This is a great way to practice. Game PlayThe game is basically the same as standard football game with a few differences. The ball heats up after every play, so you must defuse the ball before it goes CRITICAL and explodes. You can only defuse the ball by getting to midfield or scoring a touchdown. The game has a unique one-player option where you get to choose the coach that you wish to play against. There are no field goals or punts!On offense, players control the quarterback until the ball is passed or handed off to another player. On defense, the player chooses which position to play in the defensive backfield.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
