'''''Airball''''' is a videogame released in [[1987]] by MichTron/[[Microdeal]].  The game was originally released for the [[Dragon 32/64]], with ports following for the [[Atari ST]], [[Amiga]], PC [[DOS]], [[Atari 8-bit]], and [[Game Boy Advance]].  Airball was also ported to the [[Apple IIGS]], but due to a curious lack of marketing, saw an extremely limited run with less than 150 sales for the platform. A version for the [[NES]] was under development, but cancelled; however, several partially complete prototype cartridges exist. Reproduced carts are for sale from RetroZone.

Airball can ascend stairs by jumping.  The surrounding spikes, one of many obstacles found in the game, cause the player to burst.  The yellow bar is the amount of air left in the ball, and the three balls in the lower left of the screen indicate the remaining amount of lives.  The [[isometric projection]] is very visible in this image.
