"I, Ball" was released by Firebird/Silverbird in 1987 and was made by Paragon. It was released for several other systems also (all 8-bit) but the Atari ST version has the best music :-)
Timothy Closs is the designer.

I did two tries in this video one with music and one with SFX.
01:16 - for the first try were i get to level 4 (with music)
07:36 - for the second try were i get to level 10 (SFX only)

The game has 16 level in total.
It definitely has the "one more try" feeling to it, and when you finally get the weapon to fire in all 4 directions then it is much easier to play... i never managed to get the "Rainbow Ripple Laser" though.

Recording made from my Atari ST (1 mb) using Micomsoft SC-500N1 capturecard (Xsync-1 for seperating the sync) and software used was AmarecTV and Virtualdub.
Original copy of the game used as i usually try to use unmodified copies of the games for my videos, complete with diskette loading times ;-)
