{{sub-stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (サイバーボール) is a 1989 arcade sports game by [[Atari Games]] based on handegg. [[Sega]] ported it to the [[Sega Mega Drive]] in 1990 under license from [[Tengen]].

In Japan, ''CyberBall'' supports the [[Sega Mega Modem]], and plans appear to have been put in place to bring this functionality to the US. Had the Mega Modem's US counterpart, the TeleGenesis been released, ''CyberBall'' would have likely been one of the first games to support it{{magref|egm|8|26}}. Later it was announced the TeleGenesis version would be released separately{{magref|egm|10|48}}, before all TeleGenesis projects were cancelled.

==History==

While the accessory was never released, its code remains in all versions of ''CyberBall'', and was even translated into English. The game checks the region of the [[Sega Mega Drive]] it's being played on, and if it detects a Japanese system, unlocks a Modem option on the main menu.{{ref|https://tcrf.net/CyberBall_(Genesis)}}

History

In Japan, CyberBall supports the Mega Modem for online play; Sega had also planned to bring this functionality to the United States via the unreleased Sega TeleGenesis Modem, with CyberBall being one of the first games to support it.[8] Later it was announced that a special TeleGenesis Modem version of the game would be released separately.[9]

While the accessory was never released, its code remains in all versions of CyberBall, and was even translated into English. The game checks the region of the Sega Mega Drive it's being played on, and if it detects a Japanese system, unlocks a Modem option on the main menu.[10]
