This is a follow-up to a post made earlier from someone wishing that
Ballblazer would be ported to the Amiga:
 
You're in luck. As I mentioned earlier, a port has been done. It's 
called MASTERBLAZER and is from Rainbow Arts. There's a review of it
in the January 1991 issue of England's AMIGA FORMAT magazine.
 
They give it a 89% rating and offer the following comments:
 
o Super-fast moving graphics and well produced sound give the game an
  impressive appearance.
 
o The simple gameplay is easy to get into, but difficult to master.
 
o The tournament option allows you to bring in friends (upto 8) and 
  play a highly competitive contest.
 
o The additional race game (you race against your opponent down a
  track litered with sets of beams and plasmorbs. The idea being to
  inflict ten points of damage on your opponent.) gives you a chance
  to take a break from the main game and burnn off energy by smashing
  your opponent. Yah!
 
o A surperb example of how to update and improve an old 8-bit game.
  Rainbow Arts has imported a few of their games to the states so
  hopefully we will see this one as well.
