Blast Lacrosse is a lacrosse game developed by Sandbox Studios and published by Acclaim (under their Acclaim Sports label) for the PlayStation (Platform) exclusively in North America on May 24, 2001.

The first video game based on the sport of lacrosse, particularly the indoor "box lacrosse", Blast Lacrosse features a fast-paced gameplay style similar to hockey games at the time (such as EA Sport's NHL series), with some elements from over-the-top games like the NFL Blitz (Franchise) and NBA Jam (Franchise) series.

It features all nine teams from the National Lacrosse League at the time, full licensing from the Professional Lacrosse Players' Association, and crass color commentary from sports radio host [http:/www.scottbeatstheman.com Scott Ferrall].
