Ball Jacks

Ball Jacks

A competitive future sports game featuring two robot crabs grabbin' balls. The goal of the game is to use your crab's claws to capture your opponent's balls while defending your own.

Overview

Ball Jacks is a Mega Drive exclusive multiplayer game that imagines a future sport in which robotic crabs compete to grab metal spheres from their opponent, swinging around those same spheres to inflict damage as they're pulled over from the opponent's side. A damaged crab must return to the pit for repairs, giving their opponent several seconds of unopposed control of the field with which they can quickly snatch up the remaining spheres.

The game was exclusive to the Japanese and European region and has never been rereleased. It also features a single-player campaign against six CPU opponents of increasing strength, as well as time trial and practice modes.
