Deathball

Deathball is an action-sports game set in a future where rival robotics corporations compete through organized android sports. The game focuses on matches played inside a unique maze formed by a nine-by-nine grid of steel walls.

Each team has eight androids and a human manager. The manager directs the androids using information from the team's visual sensors and a short-range ball detector, while allocating strength and agility across the squad.

The objective is to locate the ball and carry it to the arena's single goal. The attacking team can attempt to evade opponents or destroy them on the way to scoring. Deathball was released for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1985.
