Clusterball released

News by Gestalt Contributor

Published on 19 Jul 2000

Swedish developer Daydream Software have announced that they have now released Clusterball, "an online sport, designed to invoke the same adrenaline rush as Quake and Unreal, but replacing the spatter and gore with pure gameplay". The rather fetching looking 3D accelerated game sees you racing against other players to grab balls and drag them back to a goal ring.

Clusterball is an online game, with a world rankings system and official competitions lined up, and the developers claim it should be playable even over a 9600bps modem. You can download the basic version of the game for free from the Clusterball website, and new arenas will be sold at a later date.
