BattleSport is a Sega Saturn sports game released exclusively in North America. It involves space ships.

BattleSport originated as a 3DO exclusive, but was brought to the Saturn and PlayStation under a licenceship agreement with Acclaim (who also planned to bring Star Fighter and Killing Time to both platforms).

Gameplay

As the name implies, BattleSport is a sports game played in vehicles, where the objective is to get a "ball" and fire it into one of the goals before the opposing player can do the same. In addition, vehicles are equipped with weapons that can do damage, and powerups exist which can change each player's stats.
