Faceball 2000 (SNES)

Faceball 2000 is a 3D first-person shooter created by Xanth Software and published in North America by Bullet Proof Software in September 1992 on the SNES. It was created after the Game Boy version, which was made and published by the same studios.

The game is set in a virtual reality where players are assigned a HAPPYFACE (Holographically Assisted Physical Pattern Yielded For Active Computerized Embarkation) and placed in a maze to shoot other players or AI-controlled enemies called Smiloids. Everything is rendered in 3D in a small screen with a large HUD to keep track of your health, stats, and powerups.

One or two players can play in three modes. Cyberzone has a series of arenas where you shoot enough Smiloids to unlock the exit and move on to the next level. Cyberscape has the player navigate and solve mazes to find the exit while keeping Smiloids off their back. Arena pits two players against each other in one of sixteen mazes or one to two players working together to shoot Smiloids in the same mazes.
