In this video, Ballistyx, released in 1989 for the Atari ST by Psyclapse/Psygnosis.

Easy review: you command an arrow that shoots little marbles and with them, you must hit a sphere, in order to push it on the upper part of the screen and score a goal. Beware the field is downhill and you risk to score an owngoal. If you score 3 goal you go to the next field/level.
As nearly always when speaking about a Psygnosis game, the graphics are terrific with smooth vertical scrolling, graphical effects and many sprites on screen and the sound is made of high quality digitized effects and voices. The playability is only ok because IMHO it tends to become boring very quickly.
Here you'll find full loading intro and gameplay of the first level, before the disk got corrupted and the game crashed everytime I fired it up.

All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.

Let me know what do you think about the video in the comments below but, most important, Enjoy!!!
