What is fireball video game?

Fireball is an action-packed arcade video game that was released by Atari in 1972. It was not only one of the earliest video games ever created but also one of the first to use a trackball as its primary input device.

The objective of the game is to prevent four spinning fireballs from reaching the center of the screen, which is shaped like a star. The player controls a paddle that moves horizontally and vertically along the edges of the screen. By manipulating the trackball, the player can move the paddle and deflect the fireballs away from the center of the screen.

The game features four levels of difficulty, and each level increases in speed and complexity. The graphics are simple but effective, with bright colors and bold shapes that make the fireballs stand out against the black background.

Fireball was a popular game in arcades in the early 1970s, and it inspired several sequels and imitators. It remains a classic example of the early days of video gaming and a beloved favorite of retro gaming enthusiasts.
