Cyberball is a sports video game that is based on American football, but with a couple changes to make things a little more interesting. Instead of a standard downs system, the football is now an explosive that will eventually blow up if it's not defused by either crossing the 50 yard line, scoring a touchdown, fumbling, or having it intercepted. The robot players are also less durable than expected and will eventually explode if worn down enough, resulting in a fumble. Originally an arcade game, it later received ports to home systems such as the NES, Sega Genesis, and the Commodore 64.

ShesChardcore chooses to play against the most difficult team and executes a special strategy to manipulate the AI such that it will never be able to catch up over the course of 19 minutes of in-game time. For more details, you can read the author's notes.
