Akira Psycho Ball (アキラ・サイコ・ボール) is a 2002 digital pinball game based on the popular 1989 Akira anime film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. It features the original theme song and storyline. The game was released on the Japanese market to coincide with the release of the newly remastered DVD Japanese edition. In 2003 the game was translated and published in Europe by Infogrames. [edit] Fields The pinball is made of four stages inspired by the movie: Neo Tokyo battlefield, the "A-room", the "Olympic Stadium" and the "Laboratory" transformation. When the player succeeds, like getting an extra ball or clearing a stage, a short clip taken from the movie is displayed on screen.

HAL Laboratory, Inc. (株式会社ハル研究所, Kabushikigaisha Haru Kenkyūjo?) is a Japanese video game developer that was founded on February 21, 1980.

It is a second-party development studio of Nintendo.
HAL Laboratory started off making games for the MSX system and the Commodore VIC-20.[3] During the early 1980s, some of their games since the 1986 Famicom Disk System game Gall Force (based on the anime series of the same name) have been released also on Nintendo systems.
In many of its games during the early to mid-'90s it used the name HALKEN (derived from their literal Japanese name "HAL KENkyūjo") as well as HAL Laboratory. Some of its early titles were also released as HAL America, a North American subsidiary of the company.
