In college, my friends and I played an Amiga game incessantly. This game was a futuristic sporting game somewhat like hockey, except involving a metallic ball. And for the life of me, I can't remember what it's called. Help me, Metafilter, you're my only hope.

Ballblazer? At least that's what it would be on the C64. Maybe bonaldi will get the ice cream.

Man I remember that game. It was fun! Looks like a java version can be downloaded to your mobile phone to boot:
