From the instructions: "You certainly will be Ball crazy by the end of this game, not to mention obsessed and slightly demented!". Single screen arcade in which you must turn all the platforms into the colour indicated until three layers are done and you can go forward to the slightly differently appearing next level. It's not terrible, but sometimes the Chasers seem impossible to avoid, the playing area is rather narrow and the gameplay limited. As a budget it wasn't a totally bad purchase, though.
2,5/5

This game was developed by The Firm, who were responsible for the rubbish and idiotic Bigfoot which had an ape in a relationship with a woman for some reason. The Firm done two other games on the Spectrum so let's see if they are as ridiculous and hideous as Bigfoot shall we? Ball Crazy was released one prior to Bigfoot and predictably you control a ball. You have bounce the ball on the platform until they turn into the indicated colour and repeat for all of them in one row, then change the next row into another colour and repeat, all while avoiding and shooting at enemies. There is a problem though, the enemies are difficult to shoot at and even more difficult to avoid. You start with 10 lives and with good reason because you are going to need them. This is pretty crap but it's a million times better than Bigfoot so at least it has something going for it.
