The briefing
Ballistix is an arcade game written by Peter Scott. Players control an arrow that sets a launch direction, then fire balls to manipulate the movement of a main ball and score a goal against an opponent.
The game incorporates gravity and friction, with varied obstacles adding challenge. It supports one- or two-player play and was published for the BBC Microcomputer by Superior Software in 1989. Listed platforms include the Acorn Electron, Amiga, Atari ST, BBC Microcomputer System, Commodore 64, DOS, and NEC PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16 systems.
