   "Enter the fantastic world of FaceBall 2000 and experience the greatest Virtual Reality sport of the future. Players from all over the globe can enter the Arena where participants can compete against the computer or each other in a contest of skill, bravery and survival. Or test your skills to the limit by entering the CyberScape, the ultimate cybernetic obstacle course.

   When you begin FaceBall 2000, the 'Inter-Face' assigns you a Holographically Assisted Physical Pattern Yielded For Active Computerized Embarkation (HAPPYFACE) represented in the CyberScape as a smiling sphere. You may team up with other players or go it alone in your quest for fame and fortune.

   Standing in your way are the Smiloids, programmed to pursue you relentlessly. Luckly, they are without the cunning and instinct of human players. Despite this,they are unflinching in their prime directive: Delete the Intruder.

   So, either alone or with a group of friends prepare for FaceBall 2000!"
