Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe – Amiga – Let’s Play

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe is a 1990 Bitmap Brothers video game that came out on the Atari ST (although I first came across it on the Amiga), and then was ported to many other systems. It was one of my favourite games back in the 1990s, and is still very playable today.

You take a team of no-hopers in the brutal, futuristic sport of Speedball where there are basically no rules, and you want to get the metal ball into your opponent’s goal more than they get it in yours! You can train your team up to become better, or you can earn money and then spend it in the transfer market to buy in some better players. You start off in the 2nd division, and try and get promotion to the 1st where the teams are better, but the rewards are bigger.

Equipment:

• Amiga A1200 (with extended memory and memory card HD)
• OSSC
