Another re-release in EA's Star Performer budget range, Projectyle is a futuristic sports sim that's actually very good. Three players can take part but there's no concept of teamwork - just score as many goals as possible. Five separate pitches are joined together in the form of a cross, three with a narrow colour-coded goalmouth. To score a goal against a particular player you must hurl the projectyle into the goalmouth with his colour. The fourth pitch has goalmouths for all three teams, so not surprisingly it's known as the Frantic Zone.

Various tokens appear during a game to improve your performance, and you get the chance to train your team too.

Projectyle has some eye-scorching graphics - the pitch whizzes about smoothly and at phenomenal speed. The player graphics are nicely drawn as well. There are some superb sampled themes, though sound during play is fairly limited. Projectyle is another excellent budget buy. It's fun, fast and fantastic.
