Domark's Official Cyberball Playbook, with instructions in English, French, German and Italian, covers the Atari ST, Amiga, IBM PC, Spectrum +3 and Spectrum cassette, Commodore 64/128, and Amstrad versions. It calls Cyberball a game for one or two players based loosely on American football, with teams like the Los Angeles Assassins and the Dallas Destroyers. Team captains select offensive plays (running, passing, or option) and short, medium, or long defenses, and replace weak or demolished players if funds allow. In a two-player team one player passes and the other receives, and a defender can use Turbo Boost once in each play.	`p. 1 (image 3), table of contentsp. 1 (image 3), table of contentsp. 1 (image 3), table of contentsp. 1 (image 3), table of contentsp. 2 (image 4), Game Instructionsp. 2 (image 4), Game Instructionsp. 2 (image 4), Cyberball Featuresp. 2 (image 4), Playing Cyberballp. 2 (image 4), Playing Cyberballp. 2 (image 4), Breakdownsp. 3 (image 5), Two Player Teamsp. 3 (image 5), Turbo Boostp. 3 (image 5), Loading Instructionsp. 3 (image 5), Loading Instructionsp. 3 (image 5), Loading Instructionsp. 3 (image 5), Loading Instructionsp. 3 (image 5), Loading Instructionsp. 3 (image 5), Loading Instructions`	Manual
The Playbook's "Key events in the evolution of Cyberball" tells the sport's invented history: by 2014 players with as much as half their bodies artificially replaced or enhanced are commonplace; the league office disbands in November 2015, when Pittsburgh fields the league's first completely cybernetic player; owners contemplate all-robot teams, and in August 2020 Dallas fields the first all-robotic line-up; in May 2022 the International Cyberball League is formed, allowing explosives in the game.	`p. 10 (image 12), Key Events in the Evolution of Cyberballp. 11 (image 13), November, 2015p. 11 (image 13), November, 2015p. 10 (image 12), August, 2009 - December, 2014p. 11 (image 13), July, 2016 - January, 2018p. 11 (image 13), August, 2020p. 11 (image 13), May, 2022p. 11 (image 13), May, 2022`	Manual
