About this game
In the year 3037, the most competitive sport in the known universe is Ballblazer.
For the first time ever, humans from the planet Earth have won the right to compete in the final round of the Ballblazer Championship, to fight for Earth's honor and the title Masterblazer! Ballblazer is a 3D futuristic soccer-like game, where the player (inside a Rotofoil) is set on a one-on-one 1,155 square playing field (the Grid).

The objective of the player is to kick a floating ball (Plasmorb) inside the opponent's goal (Goalbeams).
A player may compete against a human or computer opponent.
The Rotofoil is equipped with a multi-purpose forcefield.
This forcefield when in short distance of the Plasmorb will act as a pull field, automatically pulling the Plasmorb towards the player.
When a player in possession of the Plasmorb shoots, the forcefield will act as a push field and launch the ball.
When the match starts, the player must move down the field, attempt to gain possession of the Plasmorb using the joystick and blast the Plasmorb to an intended direction.
The player should also be aware that the Goldbeams move slightly every second and the distance between them will shrink.
The highest scoring goals are goals made when Goldbeams have disappeared across the horizon (Over The Horizon/OTH shots).
A player may also attempt to steal possession of a Plasmorb by rushing beside the opponent and blast the Plasmorb away.
The game ends when time runs out or a player wins 10 consecutive goals.
If the game ends in a draw, overtime will apply and the first player to score will win the game.
Scoring * Close-in goals - 1 point Goals near Goldbeams - 2 points OTH shots - 3 points Players may steal points from each other by making goals.
The total combined score of both players cannot exceed 10 points.
A player winning 10 consecutive points automatically wins the game.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Ballblazer for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Ballblazer to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1984.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Ballblazer has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
