Trivia

Edge 16

Ballz 3D: Fighting at its Ballziest was originally intended for the ill-fated Edge 16, a cartridge-based gaming system that allowed players to compete against one another using a modem and phone lines. Instead, the game was released on the Genesis and SNES systems and the Edge 16 slipped into obscurity.
