Speedball is a futuristic football-like game which takes place on a steel walled floored pitch, 160 feet long by 90 feet wide. There are two teams, and the team scoring the most goals wins. There is a goal at each end of the pitch and a ball warp tunnels in each side of the wall. The warp tunnels can warp a ball from one tunnel to another. The ball is launched from the center of the pit by the automatic launcher in a random direction. There also bounce domes, off of which the ball will be deflected, but over which players are free to move. This version of the game comes with a much better VGA graphics and Sound Blaster sounds. The game-play is also greatly enhanced. Read less

Between the shitty team you get in the beginning, the barely unreadable menus, the need to aggressively go the the market for players and the punitive nature of the tournament, the first approach to this game can be quite hard. But once you understand what it asks of you, it clicks and it becomes immensely playable and fun. Sure, there’s some clunkyness and some dumb shit you should expect from an old game but it’s so hard to put down, you always want to play another game. I loved it so much and I didn’t put my Amiga Mini back on the shelf until I had won the cup.

I had this on the Amiga. I played the heck out of it but it was also super hard. I could only just barely get out of the bottom division and then get destroyed in the next division. Fictional sports games is an under-served genre but I think this is the best fictional sports game. It gives off a football vibe but it plays more like handball but with tackling and some other ways to score points via different score multipliers in the arena. You can injure your way to victory by just tackling non stop but so can the computer. It's violent, futuristic fun. It's too bad the HD remake apparently flubs a lot of the fundamentals, at least from user reviews I've read about it. I think this would be be great for competitive gaming.
