|Attention, shootan fans, this is a true historical landmark: the very first first-person arena shooter of all time (in a modern sense of how the genre is defined). And did you think those MIDI ports were just for music keyboards? No, they used it to network up to 16 machines. Very, very impressive for a 1987 game. Also released for other systems later as "Faceball 2000".
