An adaptation of Xanth Software's innovative Midi-Maze. Unfortunately the already simplistic first person shooting from the original translates poorly here.

Such a wonderful game about societys fascination with violence. The cyberspace setting serves the purpose of housing a deathmatch where everyone is represented by a smiley face. While they roam endlessly through the bland and uneventful maze, the smiley faces always keep a smile on their faces. It doesn't matter to them how boring things get as long as they can live out their realistic murder fantasies. While the game doesn't seem like it's condemning violence in media, It instead seems like it's acknowledging it as it's only human nature for us to get excited over something that we cannot do. In cyberspace, anything is possible and even if primitive, the process of technology becoming more and more advanced will always excite some people no matter how primitive it is. In a way, Faceball can almost be compared to modern day VR technology. Just take a look at Mark Zuckerberg and his all of his rich dick suckers buying into the "metaverse". The metaverse is this massive leap in technology, but since it's still in its primitive stages, it's somewhat humorous to watch and laugh at these rich millionaires getting excited and happy over the idea of something as basic as legs. However, getting excited over something so simple isn't so far away from Faceball and the excitement of simulated violence in cyberspace.

This game sucks, but I love it for some reason

i don't have a lot to say about Faceball 2000

Inexplicably long and tedious but in a way that resembles Dante's Inferno, forever climbing deeper and closer to what you hope is the bottom.

You hear your mother and father arguing late one night again. This time, once it's over, they come into your room and tell you that none of what has been going on is your fault. After a few months of not knowing what is going on, you move out with your father to somewhere east in town. When you move into your new house, he offers to rent you any game in the nearest Blockbuster for your Super Nintendo Entertainment System. You see so many choices that entice your brain to the fullest extent of curiosity. You come across Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World, the three original games for the Nintendo Entertainment System with brand new sixteen bit graphics, and the newest Mario game to date, Super Mario World. Next to it you see Donkey Kong Country, Nintendo's answer to the Gensis's Aladdin. Fully pre-rendered 3D models on the SNES, with the smoothest gameplay you have ever seen. But deep into the trenches of the store, you come across this game. You ask your father for it, and he kindly buys it for you. When you get home, you pop in the game and find your way into a 2 Player game. After a very rough couple of minutes, your father pauses the game. He looks sternly into your eyes and utters a few words. "The divorce was your fault"
